. 1. Move the cursor to the start of the text block you want to define. 2. Type M-space (the META character followed by a space). This sets a 'mark' at the start of the 'region'. 3. Move the cursor to the end of the text block you want to define as the 'region'. This sets the 'point' at the end of the 'region'. You do not have to type anything to set this 'point', the 'point' is the location of the cursor.

... We report on our ongoing project ``Infrared Study of HII Regions Associated with Small Clouds.' ... These IR data, combined with optical imaging (which will be obtained from the IAC-80 telescope), IRAS survey maps, and existing CO observations of the associated clouds, will allow us to undertake a detailed investigation of the gas-to-dust mass ratio, initial mass function and the star-formation efficiency in these complexes. ...

In 2002 November the Earth will pass near the trails released at the 1866 and 1767 returns, i.e. 4 revolutions and 7 revolutions of the comet ago. The Earth's passage right through the centre of trails is associated with the most spectacular meteor displays (studies show that, as well as how close to the centre of the trail you are, the strength of the display also depends on how far along a trail's length you are). ...
