Please tell what the incorrect information is.

I'm guessing it's this:

  The default Emacs binding for the key <M-backspace> is the command
  `backward-kill-word'.  However, your customizations have rebound it to
  the command `nil'.

"the command `nil'"?  `nil' isn't a command!


Ah, yes. It is part of the same bug. I initially misunderstood the translation key maps and their function versus the key lookup functions.

I think the problem Drew saw only shows up on w32, but I am not quite sure. If the tutorial is started after emacs -Q on GNU/Linux, does it looks ok then?
