A very nice feature of CVS emacs is that once you type C-x e to

Wow, there are a lot of nice features in Emacs 22 (see etc/NEWS):
** The new kmacro package provides a simpler user interface to
emacs' keyboard macro facilities.
Basically, it uses two function keys (default F3 and F4) like this:
F3 starts a macro, F4 ends the macro, and pressing F4 again executes
the last macro. While defining the macro, F3 inserts a counter value
which automatically increments every time the macro is executed.
There is now a keyboard macro ring which stores the most recently
defined macros.
The C-x C-k sequence is now a prefix for the kmacro keymap which
defines bindings for moving through the keyboard macro ring,
C-x C-k C-p and C-x C-k C-n, editing the last macro C-x C-k C-e,
manipulating the macro counter and format via C-x C-k C-c,
C-x C-k C-a, and C-x C-k C-f. See the commentary in kmacro.el
for more commands.
The normal macro bindings C-x (, C-x ), and C-x e now interfaces to
the keyboard macro ring.
The C-x e command now automatically terminates the current macro
before calling it, if used while defining a macro.
In addition, when ending or calling a macro with C-x e, the macro can
be repeated immediately by typing just the `e'. You can customize
this behavior via the variables kmacro-call-repeat-key and
kmacro-call-repeat-with-arg.
Keyboard macros can now be debugged and edited interactively.
C-x C-k SPC steps through the last keyboard macro one key sequence
at a time, prompting for the actions to take.
