"Kill (\"cut\") text between point and mark.
This deletes the text from the buffer and saves it in the kill ring.
The command \\[yank] can retrieve it from there.
-\(If you want to kill and then yank immediately, use \\[kill-ring-save].)
+\(If you want to save the region without killing it, use \\[kill-ring-save].)
If you want to append the killed region to the last killed text,
use \\[append-next-kill] before \\[kill-region].
