As the Emacs tutorial explains:

| Emacs commands generally involve the CONTROL key (sometimes labeled
| CTRL or CTL) or the META key (sometimes labeled EDIT or ALT).  Rather than
| write that in full each time, we'll use the following abbreviations:
| 
|  C-<chr>  means hold the CONTROL key while typing the character <chr>
| 	  Thus, C-f would be: hold the CONTROL key and type f.
|  M-<chr>  means hold the META or EDIT or ALT key down while typing <chr>.
| 	  If there is no META, EDIT or ALT key, instead press and release the
| 	  ESC key and then type <chr>.  We write <ESC> for the ESC key.

Another alternative would be to run it from the command line:

emacs -f xae-compile-psgml
