<cut> etc are not very helpful. Most people have a pc. I just searched 
Info to see if I could find out what <cut> could be for key. I found no 
information.

Those names in the menus are not helpful to me at least. If there are 
some keyboard keys on some computers named like that and Emacs uses 
appropriate key bindings for those, why do they have to appear in the 
menus? Is not those C-w (and what more???) better candidates? Would it 
not be better for those wanting to learn Emacs?
