If you're ever doing cut-and-pasting work in which you'd save time if
only you had several different places to cut(copy) and store things
in, use "registers"; "C-x x" will copy the region to a register you
name (hit one key a-zA-Z0-1, I think, no <return>); then "C-x g"
retrieves it, after you name it, and inserts it at point. You can also
put cursor-positions and "rectangles" (convenient for turning
multi-column text (say, scanned) into "normal" and vice versa)

Do "C-h a register"

For rectangles, look into kill-rectangle and yank-rectangle

When you have the time, picture-mode

If you need to change somthing in column 63 for the next 20 lines, C-x
C-n (undo it with C-u C-x C-n) will "set the goal - column" to 63
(whereever the cursor is) so C-n and C-p stay in that column if at all
possible (in picture mode, even if a line is completely blank,
spaces/tabs are created as necessary so you can move in all 8
directions w/out needing s  p   a  c   e   s    there)

You know about using M-q with "C-x ." ?

Finally, when I want to post a peacenet article, I clear the "telnet"
buffer ("C-x h C-w" (do a "C-h k C-x h" if you need to)), then, in
(c)apture (p)age mode, I (r)edisplay, so the whole thing scrolls.

If the paragraphs are yuchy, "C-x h M-x fill-region" clears that up;
then "C-x h M-w" copies the article; them "C-x m" puts me in *mail*
buffer; then I paste, at the bottom, the article, goto the top ("M-<")
and address it (you can use "abbrev"s but the real way, teaching emacs
aliases, I still haven't got right; do "C-h a abbrev") to activ-l
send that with C-c C-s and then re-address to
post-usenet@ucbvax.berkeley.edu and post it to the usenet if/as
approp.
