You know, this reminds me that many years ago when I switched from Emacs knockoffs that didn't do this to GNU Emacs that did, I found it astonishing and annoying. I never got around to doing anything about it, and now I use this feature all the time without so much as thinking about it. Yes, occasionally it means having to M-y over junk, but much more often I've gotten a word I want to put somewhere else into the kill ring with a single kill-word command instead of the three step mark-move-kill. -don provan
