-  On graphical displays with window systems, the most recent kill done
-in Emacs is also the primary selection, if it is more recent than any
-selection you made in another program.  This means that the paste
-commands of other window-based applications copy the text that you
-killed in Emacs.  In addition, Emacs yank commands treat other
-applications' selections as part of the kill ring, so you can yank
-them into Emacs.

-  Many graphical applications follow the convention that insertion while text
-is selected deletes the selected text.  You can make Emacs behave this
-way by enabling Delete Selection mode---with @kbd{M-x
-delete-selection-mode} or using Custom.  Another effect of this mode
-is that @key{DEL}, @kbd{C-d} and some other keys, when a selection
-exists, will kill the whole selection.  It also enables Transient Mark
-mode (@pxref{Transient Mark}).
