Other programs don't have a concept of a point and mark, so that's pretty moot. In other programs, if you mark stuff with the mouse, or the equivalent of the selecting directional keys, then things (may) end up on the clipboard -- which is what `only' does. (Sometimes even that doesn't make things end up on the clipboard, and you have to type Cmd-C or the like.) `M-h M-w' is the expected way to put the paragraph on the clipboard in Emacs. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
