Does anyone have such a thing?  I.e., such that deletes append/prepend
to the kill buffer when appropriate (esp for word deletes!), CR just
moves down multiple blank lines instead of adding blank lines,
case changing moves over words, etc, etc, etc.  Old finger habits die
hard, and I don't particularly want to program all this in mlisp.
Thanks.

In the version of EMACS that we got a long, long time ago, there was
at least a routine to simulate an 8 item kill ring.  It was probably
the hairiest MockLISP code I have ever seen, since MockLISP lacks
things like true lists and so forth.  It was included in a
subdirectory of a whole bunch of useful little MockLISP files...
about twenty in all.

I could dig up the actual code if you need it...  but would probably
have to type it in by hand, as I no longer work where I used to have
that EMACS.  Maybe a newer version of the routine exists for newer
versions of EMACS, or maybe it now exists in a recent relese of EMACS.
Has anyone talked to Gosling recently?

Ciao.
