Hi Dave and Hentosh,
Emacs can do keyboard cut&paste with or without X:
SELECT = go to one end of region, ctrl-space,
go to other end of region.
COPY = ctrl-w + ctrl-y
CUT = ctrl-w
PASTE = go to insertion point, hit ctrl-y
Emacs can do mouse cut&paste only in X windows:
SELECT© = wipe region, or click one end, right-click other end
Single/double/tripple click on first end to select by character/word/line.
CUT = double right-click at either end of region
PASTE = middle click
Notes:
. The mouse method does not use the keyboard at all.
On DOS, the mouse method requires using the mouse and keyboard.
. 3-button mouse *emulation*: middle = left+right.
