emacs-20.3

["C.J.LAWSON" <C.J.Lawson@Cranfield.ac.uk>]

Hi,
   I am having a bit of a problem with emacs ... I cannot get it to
'set-fill-column ' .. Each time I 'M-x set-fill-column ' it does not allow
me a space to specify the colum width. If I try using 'cntrl-f ' it
returns the same error message 'set-fill-column requires an argument'

	Please does anyone know what I am doing wrong? .... I am attaching
a copy of my .emacs just in case there is something amiss there 


	Regards
