Why this macro error: "After 0 kbd macro iterations: Keyboard macro terminated by a command ringing the bell"

[Chris Seberino]

Hello! Any insight why this little home grown macro fails
would be greatly appreciated...

I have C-q bound to a home made macro
that fails with following error message:
 
"After 0 kbd macro iterations: Keyboard macro terminated by a command ringing 
the bell"
 
Here is the simple macro bound to C-q......

; Define Ctrl-q to exit Emacs.
(global-set-key "\C-q" 'new-kill-emacs)

(fset 'new-kill-emacs
   [escape ?x ?k ?i ?l ?l ?  ?b ?u ?f ?f ?e ?r
    return return ?y ?e ?s return
    escape ?x ?k ?i ?l ?l ?  ?e ?m ?a ?c ?s return
      ])

Basically just runs kill-buffer and then kill-emacs.


Thanks,


Chris
