As in, say I'm editing a line and need to go up a couple of paragraphs to edit something and then resume at my original position. The way I used to accomplish this in Vi was using mm to mark the current position into m register and then go somewhere and come back by pressing 'm Now, I know that in emacs I can do it using C-x-r- to mark a position into a register and then jump back to it usng C-x-r-j ... is there a better way? Rather, what's a better way? Regards, Kashyap --14dae934053d0f1b6004c436de96 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Emacs friends,
