I was trying to type C-space, move the cursor using C-F (or similar), and then
mark the end of the selection somehow.  In other words, I expected that I could
start a selection, move the cursor aribitrarily in any number of steps, and then
somehow tell snd that "that is where I want the selection to end".  I read that
very section of the documentation, and it didn't seem to indicate any way to do
that.  As a beginner, I had not become comfortable to moving the cursor with
numeric arguments.
