While we are in agreement: the visual indication of transient-mark-mode and of marking with the mouse is the same. Yet if I type DEL after marking a region with the mouse, the region is killed, but with transient-mark-mode, only a single character gets killed. I think it appropriate to unify the behavior in that respect as well. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
