  25 ;;; Commentary:
  26
  27 ;; Having loaded this code you can set the region by holding down the
  28 ;; shift key and move the cursor to the other end of the region.  The
  29 ;; functionality provided by this code is similar to that provided by
  30 ;; the editors of Borland International's compilers for ms-dos.
  31
  32 ;; Currently, s-region-move may be bound only to events that are vectors
  33 ;; of length one and whose last element is a symbol.  Also, the functions
  34 ;; that are given this kind of overlay should be (interactive "p")
  35 ;; functions.
  36
  37 ;; If the following keys are not already bound then...
  38 ;; C-insert is bound to copy-region-as-kill
  39 ;; S-delete is bound to kill-region
  40 ;; S-insert is bound to yank
