@item Argument
See `numeric argument.'

@item ASCII character
An ASCII character is either an ASCII control character or an ASCII
printing character.  @xref{User Input}.

@item ASCII control character
An ASCII control character is the Control version of an upper-case
letter, or the Control version of one of the characters @samp{@@[\]^_?}.

@item ASCII printing character
ASCII printing characters include letters, digits, space, and these
punctuation characters: @samp{!@@#$%^& *()_-+=|\~` @{@}[]:;"' <>,.?/}.

@item Auto Fill Mode
Auto Fill mode is a minor mode in which text that you insert is
automatically broken into lines of a given maximum width.

the terminal.  Input events include typing characters, typing function
keys, pressing or releasing mouse buttons, and switching between Emacs
frames.  @xref{User Input}.

@item Input Method
An input method is a system for entering non-ASCII text characters by
typing sequences of ASCII characters (q.v.@:).  @xref{Input Methods}.

@item Insertion
Insertion means copying text into the buffer, either from the keyboard
or from some other place in Emacs.

@xref{Exiting}.

@item Language Environment
Your choice of language environment specifies defaults for the input
method (q.v.@:) and coding system (q.v.@:).  @xref{Language
Environments}.  These defaults are relevant if you edit non-ASCII text
(@pxref{International}).

@item Line Wrapping
See `filling.'

Moving text means erasing it from one place and inserting it in
another.  The usual way to move text by killing (q.v.@:) and then
yanking (q.v.@:).  @xref{Killing}.

@item MULE
MULE refers to the Emacs features for editing multilingual non-ASCII text
using multibyte characters (q.v.@:).  @xref{International}.

@item Multibyte Character
A multibyte character is a character that takes up several bytes in a
buffer.  Emacs uses multibyte characters to represent non-ASCII text,
since the number of non-ASCII characters is much more than 256.
@xref{International Chars, International Characters}.

@item Named Mark
A named mark is a register (q.v.@:) in its role of recording a
location in text so that you can move point to that location.

Overwrite mode is a minor mode.  When it is enabled, ordinary text
characters replace the existing text after point rather than pushing
it to the right.  @xref{Minor Modes}.

@item Page
A page is a unit of text, delimited by formfeed characters (ASCII
control-L, code 014) coming at the beginning of a line.  Some Emacs
commands are provided for moving over and operating on pages.
