Indeed, there are various levels of "separation". It seems that CUA has several features that can currently be used independently (although their implementation still interact). That's good. It means that from the user's point of view, they are independent, and should thus be documented as such. > I wish someone would volounteer to write a cua.texi manual describing > all the features. Even just a few starting hints would be good: how to enable each major feature (e.g. the cursor stuff, the rectangle stuff, ...). Stefan
