Those names don't seem very useful to me, as most keyboards don't have such keys; also they don't help teach the real Emacs bindings. Shouldn't those just say "C-w" and "M-w" ? -Miles -- `...the Soviet Union was sliding in to an economic collapse so comprehensive that in the end its factories produced not goods but bads: finished products less valuable than the raw materials they were made from.'
