Ok, it seems that I have to combine zones with the ancient
multi-region-mark-region, so the steps are

    1. Mark say a line

    2. Run multi-region-mark-region

    3. Mark another line

    4. Run multi-region-mark-region, this way various noncontiguous are
       higlighted.

    5. Run zz-add-zone on each highlighted region (I prefer to do this
       once all regions are highlighted)

    6. Run your function (zz-copy-izones-as-kill 'zz-izones)

Voila.

A last question about a function I do not find listed in your package:

Can I purge all zones in one go?


Thanks
