253      On multi-window terminals, the most recent kill done in Emacs is
254    also the primary selection, if it is more recent than any selection
255    you made in another program.  This means that the paste commands of
256    other applications with separate windows copy the text that you killed
257    in Emacs.  In addition, Emacs yank commands treat other applications'
258    selections as part of the kill ring, so you can yank them into Emacs.

265    way by enabling Delete Selection mode, with @kbd{M-x

267    is that @key{DEL}, @kbd{C-d} and some other keys, when a selection
268    exists, will kill the whole selection.  It also enables Transient Mark
