My .mg file is: bsmap-mode auto-fill-mode global-set-key "\^x\^v" find-file global-set-key "}" blink-matching-paren-hack The first line, `bsmap-mode', maps backspace to DEL like what you want. The second line, `auto-fill-mode', does the same as my Gnu .emacs line: (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) ; auto-fill minor mode The third line provides the C-x C-v command, which MicroGnu lacks, but uses the function called by C-x C-f. The last line shows me the corresponding "{" when I type "}". bob desinger
