Howdy,

I remembered the (K)ill command, Ctl-K, but forgot the (Y)ank command, Ctl-Y, was also active in the TextView framework. If you like to use such `emacsian' commands there are others that aren't bound to the keyboard by default but can be bound; even multi-keystroke commands. You can get more information as well as a sample by downloading KeyBindings.zip from <http://homepage.mca.com/herbs2>.

Good Luck,
