C-SPC (twice if you want to specially mark the region for a number of region-restricted commands), move to the other side of the region. For copy, type M-w, for kill C-w. At insertion point, type C-y. It is not like Emacs does not have a handy reference card coming with it. > Finally...

C-/ is also undo. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
