"Replace just-yanked stretch of killed text with a different stretch.
This command is allowed only immediately after a `yank' or a `yank-pop'.
At such a time, the region contains a stretch of reinserted
previously-killed text. `yank-pop' deletes that text and inserts in its
place a different stretch of killed text.
This command is allowed only immediately after a `yank' or a
`yank-pop'. At such a time, the region contains a stretch of
reinserted previously-killed text. `yank-pop' deletes that text
and inserts in its place a different stretch of killed text by
traversing the value of the `kill-ring' variable.
With no argument, the previous kill is inserted.
With argument N, insert the Nth previous kill.
