@cindex quitting
@kindex C-g
Quitting with @kbd{C-g} is the way to get rid of a partially typed
-command, or a numeric argument that you don't want. It also stops a
-running command in the middle in a relatively safe way, so you can use
-it if you accidentally give a command which takes a long time. In
-particular, it is safe to quit out of a kill command; either your text
-will @emph{all} still be in the buffer, or it will @emph{all} be in
-the kill ring, or maybe both. Quitting an incremental search does
-special things, documented under searching; it may take two successive
address@hidden characters to get out of a search (@pxref{Incremental
-Search}).

On MS-DOS, the character @address@hidden serves as a quit character
like @kbd{C-g}. The reason is that it is not feasible, on MS-DOS, to
