lines number removed

lines number removed

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

I use
GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2006-03-07 on hs20-bc1-6.build.redhat.com

when I place number lines in-front of lines in a region using the
command
M-h C-u M-| cat -n RET

and later, after saving the file and rebooting and what-have-you want
to remove the lines, the next command fails,    
C-x r d

how can I get the job done?

thanks

Using your text as example, first place the cursor on the spot marked
with "*" and press C-SPC, then move cursor to "!", then C-x r d
