The command (apple) key is treated by emacs either as alt or as meta, depending on your configuration. In general it doesn't work like a command key in the MacOS sense (except for cmd-H). For paste into emacs use mouse-middle or emacs' Edit menu. > (the reverse is true > also: I can't copy stuff from emacs into a separate document or > application) Any text you mark in emacs is effectively "copied". So just mark it in emacs and hit cmd-V in other OSX apps. > instead, the apple key seems to be a control key By default it's meta, and option is alt. You can swap these via (setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) > emacs is essentially not using the macintosh copy/paste properly.

They're really cheap and they're useful not only in carbon emacs but also in Aqua in general (Cocoa apps in particular) and in X11. > A second thing I would like to know how to do is in Oort Gnus v0.12, > drag and drop an attachment into a mac folder. There isn't much drag&drop support in this version of emacs. You can drag files from the Finder into emacs and it will open a buffer for them, but afaik that's about it. I don't know about gnus specifically, since I never use it (too slow).
