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