;; for additional motif keybindings.
;; Thanks to jvromans@squirrel.nl (Johan Vromans) for a bug report
;; concerning setting of this-command.
-;;
+;; Dan Nicolaescu <done@ece.arizona.ro> suggested suppressing the

+;; Eli Barzilay (eli@cs.bgu.ac.il) suggested the sexps functions and
+;; keybindings.
;;
;; Ok, some details about the idea of pc-selection-mode:
;;
;; They will be bound according to the "old" behaviour to S-delete (cut),
;; S-insert (paste) and C-insert (copy). These keys do the same in many
;; other programs.
