Re: new changes in tutorial.el recognize "esc" in "dESCends" as ESC key?

[Richard Stallman]

        This tutorial descends from a long line of Emacs tutorials
        ** The key ESC has been rebound, but you can use  instead [More 
information] **
        starting with the one written by Stuart Cracraft for the original Emacs.

This does not happen when I try it, and the code

                    (while (re-search-forward
                            (concat (regexp-quote key-desc)
                                    "[[:space:]]") nil t)

seems to insist on whitespace after the key name.

Perhaps it should also check the preceding character, but the current
code ought to be enough to prevent the bug you saw.  How come
it didn't prevent the bug for you?
