Well, that kinda sucks

I recently found and enabled the CUA option (thnks XA), but then discovered
the basic emacs scroll functions (C-v/M-v) no longer works.  No wonder
the emacs learning curve graph looks like a spiral.  ;)

Actually, having a rather rotund belly and no ergo keyboard, I usually
let my right hand slip to the arrows/PgUp-Dn keys all the time.  It's
just that I want my C-v/M-v keys to work when I get an attack of good 
posture.  Is there an emacs combo for copy instead of yank (C-w)?

doesn't cua mode bind scroll-up/scroll-down to some other keys?

instead of kill, you mean? (kill-region, to be precise.) yes: M-w
(copy-region-as-kill).

Ok, that's exactly what I was looking for.  Thank you.  I was no doubt
confused with all the "kill" business.  I didn't want to kill
anything, just copy it.  I'll save all the kill stuff for the twit
that developed vi..... the root of all evil!  ;)
