To me, it seems to be. Me, too. I thought the OP said it wasn't for him, but it was actually someone else responding.

So I'm guessing cua-mode changes the behavior of the cursor movement commands, but not C-s. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***
