On Thu, 10 Jan 2002, Steve Youngs uttered the following:
XEmacs has a thingy called the "kill-ring".
Instead of re-copying your original change after killing the stuff in
the second place, do:
C-y (it'll put back what you just killed, but don't despair)
M-y (will change it to the previously killed text)
Subsequent M-y's will change to older and older killed text.
If you like interactively wandering around the kill ring (which is
useful if what you want to yank is a long way down in it, or if you're
yanking things from all over the kill ring) Colin Walters also wrote
browse-kill-ring.el; see his homepage at <
