(Tests with yanking something were not mentioned=85) What you described = is exactly what happens when Delete Selection mode is not enabled. So = it's all OK until here. That the variable and function = delete-selection-mode are unknown means that delsel.el is not loaded or = dumped from temacs into emacs at Emacs build time. The Elisp file can be = here: /usr/local/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/delsel.el.gz /usr/local/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/delsel.elc /usr/local/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/delsel.el.gz /usr/local/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/delsel.elc Does it exist? IMO this, that it exists but is not loaded, can only mean = that you have some "unconventional" Emacs. In case delsel.el exists in = your system, you can try to load it with (require 'delsel)=20 because the Elisp file has at its end (provide 'delsel) Then the variable and function delete-selection-mode should be known=85 = and working! -- Greetings Pete For some reason, this fortune reminds everyone of Marvin Zelkowitz.
