Key Combinations

M-x

1. Press and hold the Alt key, followed by the x key. Then release both.
2. An alternative is to press and release the ESC key, then press the x key.

C-u 0 M-x byte-recompile-directory

• You will see the progress of entering this key sequence at the bottom of the Emacs window, and not necessarily where the cursor is at.

1. Press and hold the Ctrl key, followed by the u key. Then release both.
2. Press 0 (the zero key, not the letter O).
3. Press M-x
4. Type byte-recompile-directory, then press enter.
5. Now it asks for the directory to recompile. Edit the line to read c:\Program Files\emacs\site-lisp\ (unless you installed emacs in a different directory). Note: You can use either forward slashes or back slashes when specifying the path here.
6. Close Emacs once the compiling is done. (it should compile about 50 files)
