But from the user perspective the word is not deleted until you type some new text or hit . Right after typing cw the word is still displayed and it is hi-lighted. So I would not say it is deleted. There is no advantage to the user to clobber the selection that that point, since they may want to use what was previously in there. I just tried what I originally describe in a terminal window (ie starting from emacs -Q -nw) and it works as I expect. The previously selected selection is pasted in to the hi-lighted word after typing cw. Just like it all previous versions of emacs (terminal or not). Bob
