No error message, nothing: = just > ignore the instruction of killing the rectangle. I remember a similar situation I had with the AppKit variant (kind of = successor of Carbon Emacs). C-x was swallowed, it had to be typed twice = to be recognised by Emacs. The cause was, as the creator of the AppKit = variant, YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu, found, that I had NS key bindings set up = for the normal Apple applications that contained ESC =96 and also some = starting with C-x (^X in Apple syntax, see for example = http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/System%20Bindings.html, = http://www.dannyadam.com/blog/2012/02/changing-mac-key-bindings/), = oriented on what I was used in Emacs. Maybe this is also the case for = you? If you're able to build GNU Emacs yourself I'd recommend to build and = use AppKit Emacs! It's based on the sources of either GNU Emacs 23.4 or = 24.2 or the pre-release GNU Emacs 24.2.92 (becoming 24.3) and needs a = large set patches contained in an extra archive. The pre-release GNU Emacs sources can be found here: = /ftp:anonymous@alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/emacs/pretest (TRAMP syntax); the AppKit patches can be found here: = /ftp:anonymous@ftp.math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp:/emacs (TRAMP syntax). My way of building AppKit Emacs is: gtar xf emacs-24.2.92.tar.xz mv emacs-24.2.92 emacs-24.2.92-mac-3.92 gtar xf emacs-24.2.92-mac-3.92.tar.gz cd emacs-24.2.92-mac-3.92 patch -p 0 < patch-mac Then check which options configure offers and configure particularly = with the -with-mac option! Then make and sudo make install. (=46rom the = same patched sources you can easily build the X11 and the NS/almost = Aquamacs variants.) The AppKit variant is very stable in every release = and is very Mac like, being able to use the graphics libraries of the = system, including SVG support (which the NS or Aquamacs variants don't = have), and being able to support all input methods and scripts and fonts = (check out C-h H!). -- Greetings Pete "Evolution" o __o _o _ =B0\___o /0~ -\<, ^\___ /=3D\\_/-% oo~_______ /\ /\______/ \_________O/ O_______________o=3D=3D=3D>-->O--o___= _
