This page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access) says that:
The Cut command is Shift+Del; Copy is Ctrl+Ins; Paste is Shift+Ins;
But in cua-mode, `C-x', `C-c', `C-v', and `C-z' invoke commands that cut
(kill), copy, paste (yank), and undo respectively. Why? I went to the
website of Kim F. Storm and `cua-base.el', but I still don't know. Can
somebody give some background?

Why not? The keys mentioned by Wikipedia _also_ do in CUA Mode what
Wikipedia says they should, so what's exactly the problem?
IOW, there's more than one interpretation of CUA, and Emacs supports
them all, or at least tries to. The second group of keys you mention
is what is known as "CUA" on DOS and Windows systems.

Ah, I see, thank you. The keys mentioned by Wikipedia is not documented
in the manual (at least I didn't find it).
