Q I started Emacs with the -q switch, and now some commands are missing!
A You might have commands and keybindings in your local init file ~/.emacs which were not read. Make sure you know what your ~/.emacs file does.
Q I typed M-! my-command Enter, and now Emacs is not responding.
A Your command has not exited correctly. Type C-g twice to get back control.
Q My shell buffer has gotten huge! Doesn't Emacs limit the size of the buffer?
A It does, but the default size is 1024 lines. You can modify the variable comint-buffer-maximum-size in your .emacs file to any dimension you like.
Q I can't seem to delete a directory in dired. What did I do wrong?
A The directory is probably not empty. Edit that subdirectory and make sure it is empty by deleting the files in it first.
