11 Many Emacs commands operate on an arbitrary contiguous part of the | |
12 current buffer. To specify the text for such a command to operate on, | |
13 you set @dfn{the mark} at one end of it, and move point to the other | |
14 end. The text between point and the mark is called @dfn{the region}. | |
