Subject: A question about kill-region after reading emacs-lisp-intro

In the body of kill-region there is a statement as
(when string
(if (eq last-command 'kill-region)
;; if true, prepend string
(kill-append string (< end beg))
(kill-new string)))
The purpose is "The if expression checks whether the previous command was
kill-region. If it was, concatenates a copy of the newly clipped text to the
just previously clipped text in the kill ring. If you then yank back the
text, i.e., `paste' it, you get both pieces of text at once. That way, if
you delete two words in a row, and then yank them back, you get both words,
in their proper order, with one yank. (The (< end beg)) expression makes
sure the order is correct.)"
But how can I delete two words in a row£¿I have to set mark between two
deletions, and this would cause last-command to change. Is there some
advanced function I don't know?

Yours sincerely,
Hu, Wei
