When one of my old college profs who first evangelized me into the
EMACS camp, one of the first things he said was, ``If you get into
trouble, just hit CTRL-G a bunch of times.'' More often than not, that
has been my saving grace. And when learning the ropes, I tend to
recommend XEMACS.

And the random key combo issue has turned out to be a mixed
blessing. On more than one occasion, I stumbled upon some nifty
feature entirely by accident.
