Thanks for the tip Paul, but I did it a couple years ago.  It is the 
single reason why I am addicted to emacs keybindings and have to 
reconfigure every editor I try to use them (and why I can't use vi very 
well).  I [think I] know pretty much all the key commands featured in 
this tutorial, like C-G and C-B etc, but IIRC it doesn't go into these 
more advanced commands very far, and I've never really had the 
opportunity to hone them.

I have been meaning to spend more time learning Objective-C, and brush 
up on my C programming.  I vowed to use emacs when I do, simply to force 
myself to learn a lot of these shortcuts and tips.  (Of all the editors 
or IDEs I've used [not very many], emacs and vi seem most ideal for C 
programming.)
