Press the control key, then press the c key, then release both keys. Then type . normally, | normally, and w normally.

+1  A: 

Try

C-h k <key sequence>

to learn what (if anything) <key sequence> is bound to in your environment as currently set up.

They read the docs for the function (C-h f <function>) and you are on your debugging way.

Don't forget C-h w <function> to find out what key the function is one. :)
seth
Yes. And C-h b for a list of all active bindings...
