C-x C-x is the main way to activate an existing region in Transient Mark mode. To make that require C-u will be a different pain in the neck. The change for C-d and DEL to delete all regions was too radically incompatible to make made without polling the users first. The right thing to do is take that change out, then address the issue the right way: by polling the users. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
