I use notGNU for DOS (dnot.exe), an Emacs-like editor. Cutting text
only takes a few sets of keystrokes, i.e. Ctrl-Space(spacebar) to mark
the beginning line, then use Down arrow to the end of the text, and
mark the end with Ctrl-w. When I am composing a reply in Yarn, using
quoted material, to most messages, it's no problem. But, when I do
this with a reply to a message that has a uuencoded attachment, I have
to hold that Down arrow key down for the longest time to catch all of
that part of the text. This is the reason why I said, originally, that
it was a bit of a hassle.

But, to me, this is all no big thing. Just a wish to add to the
list...:)... All things considered, I love Yarn, and it's one of the
best apps that I have ever used. I get more satisfaction out of Yarn
(freeware), than I do from many other programs. I think that we are
getting a whole lot of great features, at no cost, and my thanks go out
to Chin :)...
