Finally taking the plunge and trying to learn this system.
I'm using a PC with xterm software on it to connect to my
unix workstation. Trying to figure out how to use the Alt-TAB
command inside emacs- Alt-TAB is a windows thing that lets
you hop between running programs. I tried to use ESC-TAB
but it does not seem to do the right completion. Instead, I
get
Use symbol help mode:
and I am not sure what to do next. I've tried to find a way
to bind a different key to be my ALT key but I haven't succeeded.
Any emacs users out there who can help me out here? As should be
obvious, I have not used emacs before.

Thanks,
Dick
