You mean
12.3 “Cut and Paste” Operations on Graphical Displays
In most graphical desktop environments, you can transfer data
(usually text) between different applications using a system
facility called the clipboard.
right? I agree that the *user* wants to be there, but I'm not sure
*we* want her to be there. In particular, on "i cut" I would be very
tempted to land her in the parent, "Killing and Moving Text". YMMV,
but when I introduce students to Emacs, I do want them to read at
least a little about the power of "killing" vs the limitations of
"cutting"!
