Combining the two actions was very convenient before the recent change to C-d and DEL. The problem has happened to me in fact after C-x C-x, but I suspect it will also happen in other cases. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
