Sigh.. M-x isn't help.

Oh, OK.

That'd be C-h,

Oh! Right! A text editor that binds backspace to "pop open a new window full of help messages." I'd forgotten that misfeature. :-)

M-x gives you access to the command mini buffer, something that is explained in the first two pages of the Emacs tutorial.

Oh. OK. So "M-x help" is exactly like ":help", only with a different character to get you into the command mini buffer. Got it. :-)

(I *did* use Emacs for about 5 years. Went back to VI.)
