Move to one end of that part, and type C-@ or C- (either one). ( is the Space bar.) Move to the other end of that part, and type C-w. That kills all the text between the two positions. >> Move the cursor to the Y at the start of the previous paragraph. >> Type C-. Emacs should display a message "Mark set" at the bottom of the screen. >> Move the cursor to the n in "end", on the second line of the paragraph. >> Type C-w. This will kill the text starting from the Y, and ending just before the n." I've done exactly that. No text is killed. All that happens is a minibuffer appears containing the message.
