I'd start M-y with the first entry of the kill-ring. It would probably make M-y more popular than C-y, but people might learn to live with that. It would probably also make sense to have C-y accept a multiplier argument (probably more expected) while letting M-y accept a stack pointer argument. So if you were certain to need only the most recent kill, you'd use C-y, and if you _might_ want a different kill, you'd use M-y. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
