Hi Michael, do M-w (kill-ring-save) C-w (kill-region) C-y (yank) and M-y (yank-pop) work for you? I use these to achieve copy/cut/paste/paste from kill region. Please read up on kill and yank. It's a more powerful concept than the usual copy/cut/paste functionality. Try these, using C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp) at end-of-line: (Info-goto-node "(xemacs)Killing") (Info-goto-node "(xemacs)Yanking") Hope this helps, Adrian Michael> Thanks, Michael> Michael -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
