[Orgmode] Re: C-a marks whole buffer instead of moving to beginning of line => solved

[Rainer Stengele]

Hi Carsten,

solved.

Anyway I could not find the setting at all,
but after upgrading to

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-11-04 on LENNART-69DE564 
(patched)

(from the emacsw32 site) and in the initial setup switching most of the special 
windows stuff "off" C-a finally stops marking the whole buffer.


Thanks,
Rainer
