The more ad-hoc a homebrown solution to a simple problem seems, the more it may be prudent to wait for other replies before investing time in what amounts to the blind leading the blind. Or one could try consulting the documentation. The Emacs manual has a node "Marking Objects" which gives this bindings among others. The node can be found with C-h i d m Emacs RET i mark RET and then cycling with , through the occurences. C-h a ^mark RET gives a whole slew of marking commands, too, for those that mistrust manuals. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
