address@hidden Running Commands by Name
-
-  Every Emacs command has a name that you can use to run it.  For
-convenience, many commands also have key bindings.  You can run those
-commands by typing the keys, or run them by name.  Most Emacs commands
-have no key bindings, so the only way to run them is by name.
-(@xref{Key Bindings}, for how to set up key bindings.)
-
-  By convention, a command name consists of one or more words,
-separated by hyphens; for example, @code{auto-fill-mode} or
address@hidden  Command names mostly use complete English words
-to make them easier to remember.
-
address@hidden M-x
-  To run a command by name, start with @kbd{M-x}, type the command
-name, then terminate it with @key{RET}.  @kbd{M-x} uses the minibuffer
-to read the command name.  The string @samp{M-x} appears at the
-beginning of the minibuffer as a @dfn{prompt} to remind you to enter a
-command name to be run.  @key{RET} exits the minibuffer and runs the
-command.  @xref{Minibuffer}, for more information on the minibuffer.
-
-  You can use completion to enter the command name.  For example,
-to invoke the command @code{forward-char}, you can type
-
address@hidden
-M-x forward-char @key{RET}
address@hidden example
-
address@hidden
-or
-
address@hidden
-M-x forw @key{TAB} c @key{RET}
address@hidden example
-
address@hidden
-Note that @code{forward-char} is the same command that you invoke with
-the key @kbd{C-f}.  The existence of a key binding does not stop you
-from running the command by name.
-
-  To cancel the @kbd{M-x} and not run a command, type @kbd{C-g} instead
-of entering the command name.  This takes you back to command level.
-
-  To pass a numeric argument to the command you are invoking with
address@hidden, specify the numeric argument before @kbd{M-x}.  The
-argument value appears in the prompt while the command name is being
-read, and finally @kbd{M-x} passes the argument to that command.
-
address@hidden suggest-key-bindings
-  When the command you run with @kbd{M-x} has a key binding, Emacs
-mentions this in the echo area after running the command.  For
-example, if you type @kbd{M-x forward-word}, the message says that you
-can run the same command by typing @kbd{M-f}.  You can turn off these
-messages by setting the variable @code{suggest-key-bindings} to
address@hidden
-
-  In this manual, when we speak of running a command by name, we often
-omit the @key{RET} that terminates the name.  Thus we might say
address@hidden auto-fill-mode} rather than @kbd{M-x auto-fill-mode
address@hidden  We mention the @key{RET} only for emphasis, such as when
-the command is followed by arguments.
-
address@hidden execute-extended-command
-  @kbd{M-x} works by running the command
address@hidden, which is responsible for reading the
-name of another command and invoking it.
