 @Unnumbered(Command Summary)

This summary contains brief descriptions with cross references for all
commands, grouped by topic.  Within each topic, they are in
alphabetical order.  Our version of alphabetical order places
non-control non-meta characters first, then control characters, then
meta characters, then control-meta characters.  Control-X and Meta-X
commands come last.  Not all Meta-X commands are included.

@INFO{
Each command has a footnote whose name is the same as the command
name.  Thus, you do not need to find the entry for a command to use
the footnote.  Just do F<command name><cr>.  For example,
@w[F Control-S<cr>] goes directly to the node which documents the
Control-S command.  For an extended command, the footnote name does
not include the "Meta-X".}

@Hd2(Prefix Characters)

@Begin(Description)

Altmode@ @ @ (^R Prefix Meta) @\
Altmode is a bit prefix character which turns on the Meta bit in the
next character.  Thus, Altmode F is equivalent to the single character
Meta-F, which is useful if your keyboard has no Meta key.
@Note(IName="Altmode", Node="Characters").

Control-^@ @ @ (^R Prefix Control) @\
Control-^ is a bit prefix character which turns on the Control bit in
the following character.  Thus, Control-^ < is equivalent to the
single character Control-<.  @Note(IName="Control-^", Node="Characters").

@ITS[Control-C]@Twenex[Control-Z]@ @ @ (^R Prefix Control-Meta) @\
@ITS[Control-C]@Twenex[Control-Z] is a bit prefix character which
turns on the Control bit and the Meta bit in the following character.
Thus, @ITS[Control-C]@Twenex[Control-Z] ; is equivalent to the single
character Control-Meta-;.
@Note(IName="@ITS[Control-C]@Twenex[Control-Z]", Node="Characters").

Control-Q@ @ @ (^R Quoted Insert) @\
Control-Q inserts the following character.  This is a way of inserting
control characters.  @Note(IName="Control-Q", Name="Basic Editing", Node="Basic").

Control-U@ @ @ (^R Universal Argument) @\
Control-U is a prefix for numeric arguments which works the same on
all terminals.  @Note(IName="Control-U", Node="Arguments").

Control-X @\@*
Control-X is a prefix character which begins a two-character command.
Each combination of Control-X and another character is a "Control-X
command".  Individual Control-X commands appear in this summary
according to their uses.

Meta-X@ @ @ (^R Extended Command) @\
Meta-X is a prefix character which introduces an extended command
name.  @Note(Name="Meta-X", Node="M-X").

Control-Meta-X@ @ @ (^R Instant Extended Command) @\
Control-Meta-X is another way of invoking an extended command.
Instead of putting the arguments in the same line as the command name,
the command reads the arguments itself.  @Note(IName="Control-Meta-X", Name="Meta-X",
Node="M-X").

Control-digits, Meta-digits, Control-Meta-digits @\
These all specify a numeric argument for the next command.
@Note(Node="Arguments").

Control-Minus, Meta-Minus, Control-Meta-Minus @\
These all begin a negative numeric argument for the next command.
@Note(Node="Arguments").
