How do I produce C-XXX with my keyboard?
========================================

   On terminals (but not under X), some common "aliases" are:

`C-2'  or  `C-<SPC>'
     `C-@'

`C-6'
     `C-^'

`C-7'  or  `C-S--'
     `C-_'

`C-4'
     `C-\'

`C-5'
     `C-]'

`C-/'
     `C-?'

   Often other aliases exist; use the `C-h c' command and try <CTRL>
with all of the digits on your keyboard to see what gets generated.
You can also try the `C-h w' command if you know the name of the
command.
