Oh, right, this is even better!

(-:  I guess that the vi folks could use "%" and "~".  But I like
the emacs M-l, M-u, and M-c keys a lot better than vi's "~" key.


BTW, as a side comment:  I like emacs, and I respect the fact that
other people like different editors.  For me, it isn't so important
that people use a certain editor, but it is important that they learn
how to use it *well*.
