I also am a GNU-newbie and need help with the following questions:

Questions about Demacs:

I've tried to bind C-@ C-C to set-mark-command in my _emacs file with either
of the below lines of elisp code:

	(global-set-key "\C-@\C-C" 'set-mark-command)

or

	(global-set-key "\C-@ \C-C" 'set-mark-command)

and I receive the "Error in Init file" message.  What am I doing wrong?
___
Also, I am working on a regexp that nukes extraneous control chars out of
a buffer that is in the Fundamental mode.  The expression that I've tried
using is:

	[^!-~\\s ]

Unfortunately, this RE manages to nuke tabs and newlines.  Arg!  Any
suggestions out there?
---
Last question: how can I get DEmacs to allow itself to be invoked as
"emacs", instead of "demacs"?

Thanks,
Dale Miller

You have to put the actual control characters in the string, as there's no
special regular expression syntax for these characters.  It's easiest to
use format to construct this string, since it recognizes \t and \n
abbreviations.

(format "[^\t\n -~]")
