    So you claim to have invented the concept of doing cut, copy, and paste 
    via keyboard commands, and that Emacs was the first program to do that?

That isn't the point at all.  The point is that we did not ignore
Windows when we chose the Emacs commands.  We chose them in 1975
when Microsoft did not even exist.
