What I ended up in that emacs frame was that a random section of text was set to background yellow. Investigating further, I found that text with the yellow background was a secondary-selection. But I couldn't find anything in the Help screens describing anything about it, except its properties. So here are my questions:
What is/are the purpose(s) of a secondary-selection? What can be done with a secondary-selection...? and how to do them?How do I undo this secondary-selection... i.e., make the selection go away without changing the file/buffer in any way?
Thanks much.Note: I sent this same email to the group on Tuesday, but it never showed. Has the server been down?
