`forward-sentence'
==================

   The command to move the cursor forward a sentence is a
straightforward illustration of how to use regular expression searches
in Emacs Lisp.  Indeed, the function looks longer and more complicated
than it is; this is because the function is designed to go backwards as
well as forwards; and, optionally, over more than one sentence.  The
function is usually bound to the key command `M-e'.
