Hello,

how can I give C-s a string from the kill ring as argument?

Hi,

Copy to the kill ring with M-w, perform a search with C-s, and copy the previous argument from the kill ring with M-y, not C-y. This worked on Emacs 21.2.1 on Windows
and 21.1.1 under solaris.  Don'y ask me why C-y doesn't work, I don't know.
