In no particular order . . .

Q.  AGH!  When I type "backspace" in Emacs, bizarre things happen, none of
which include the deletion of the character immediately preceding the cursor
position.  What's going on?<BR>
A.  While the shell accepts two keystroke inputs as backspace, Emacs declares that
there can only be one.  There are two ways to get around this that will be
described here.  
<li>The first: under remote login, if you're using SSH Secure Shell, you can
change your settings to map "backspace" to "delete".
(Edit->Settings->Profile->Keyboard).</li>
<li>If you don't like that (and there's good
reason to feel that way, since it has to be done at every SSH client you use), you can
put the following line in your .emacs file in your home directory:
<pre>
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char) 
</pre>
</li>
</p>
<p>
Q.  How do I jump to a line in Emacs?<BR> 
A.  Press ALT+x, then type goto-line.  This is annoying to have to do every
time you want to use this functionality, and it doesn't even work by default
over remote login from Windows, so I recommend that you edit your .emacs file
with something like this:<BR>
<li>(global-set-key "\C-xg" 'goto-line) 
</li>

Wow, that FAQ was lame.  We'll add more content as we're reminded of it.
