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