Yes I am aware of that. I actually use browse-kill-ring for maximum convenience with the kill-ring. But I think you misunderstood: I want only things on the kill-ring that I put there. I don't want things to end up on the kill ring which weren't supposed to go there, i.e. deleted items. So, the solution of using C-w for deleting (not killing) a region is suboptimal, since it pollutes my kill-ring. I press M-y which (with browse-kill-ring) pops up a nice selection window and I have to sift through all of these deleted items instead of my nice and clean collection of kills. Christoph
