^G Get Help  ^O WriteOut  ^R Read File ^Y Prev Pg   ^K Cut Text  ^C Cur Pos

        ^^        Mark cursor position as beginning of selected text.
                  Note: Setting mark when already set unselects text.
        ^K (F9)   Cut selected text (displayed in inverse characters).
                  Note: The selected text's boundary on the cursor side
                        ends at the left edge of the cursor.  So, with 
                        selected text to the left of the cursor, the 
                        character under the cursor is not selected.
        ^U (F10)  Uncut (paste) last cut text inserting it at the
                  current cursor position.
        ^R (F5)   Insert an external file at the current cursor position.
        ^O (F3)   Output the current buffer to a file, saving it.
