Well, I don't think it is ot, since this problem is generated by Emacs. I am using the mighty Editor since a few months now and I must make a decision. Should I tweak the Editor to work like my operating system, that means using CUA and so on. Or should I tweak the operating system such that it works like the Editor (eg C-y as "paste" ect)? I want to decide this once for a lifetime. Which is the way to go? Which way is better? Where is the origin of the way Emacs does it? Any thoughts, scientific or religious are welcome. Thanks, Christopher
