 @cindex MS-Windows keyboard shortcuts
   Many key combinations (known as ``keyboard shortcuts'') that have
 conventional uses in MS-Windows programs conflict with traditional
-Emacs commands.  This conflict arose because the designers of the CUA
-interface implemented by MS-Windows did not try to avoid conflict with
-Emacs.  Examples of conflicts include @kbd{C-c}, @kbd{C-x}, @kbd{C-z},
-@kbd{C-a}, and @kbd{W-@key{SPC}}.  You can redefine some of them with
-meanings more like the MS-Windows meanings by enabling CUA Mode
-(@pxref{CUA Bindings}).
