I'm currently using GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit) of 2004-03-22 on cm-test. (Hmm, I guess I need to upgrade my cygwin.) I'm looking for a {function, key binding} with semantics like windows C-a, i.e. that will select the current contents of the buffer (preferably respecting narrowing) and save it to the kill ring without killing (like copy-region-as-kill). What to use? If possible please reply directly to me as well as to the list, and TIA.
