  ** New modes and packages
  
+ *** The new cua package provides CUA-like keybindings using C-x for
+ cut (kill), C-c for copy, C-v for paste (yank), and C-z for undo.
+ With cua, the region can be set and extended using shifted movement
+ keys (like pc-selection-mode) and typed text replaces the active
+ region (like delete-selection-mode).  Do not enable these modes with
+ cua-mode.  Customize the variable `cua-mode' to enable cua.
+ 
+ In addition, cua provides unified rectangle support with visible
+ rectangle highlighting: Use S-return to start a rectangle, extend it
+ using the movement commands (or mouse-3), and cut or copy it using C-x
+ or C-c (using C-w and M-w also works).
+ 
+ Use M-o and M-c to `open' or `close' the rectangle, use M-b or M-f, to
+ fill it with blanks or another character, use M-u or M-l to upcase or
+ downcase the rectangle, use M-i to increment the numbers in the
+ rectangle, use M-n to fill the rectangle with a numeric sequence (such
+ as 10 20 30...), use M-r to replace a regexp in the rectangle, and use
+ M-' or M-/ to restrict command on the rectangle to a subset of the
+ rows.  See the commentary in cua-base.el for more rectangle commands.
+ 
+ Cua also provides unified support for registers:  Use a numeric
+ prefix argument between 0 and 9, i.e. M-0 .. M-9, for C-x, C-c, and
+ C-v to cut or copy into register 0-9, or paste from register 0-9.
+ 
+ The last text deleted (not killed) is automatically stored in
+ register 0.  This includes text deleted by typing text.
+ 
+ Finally, cua provides a global mark which is set using S-C-space.
+ When the global mark is active, any text which is cut or copied is
+ automatically inserted at the global mark position.  See the
+ commentary in cua-base.el for more global mark related commands.
+ 
+ The features of cua also works with the standard emacs bindings for
+ kill, copy, yank, and undo.  If you want to use cua mode, but don't
+ want the C-x, C-c, C-v, and C-z bindings, you may customize the
+ `cua-enable-cua-keys' variable.
+ 
+ *** The new keypad setup package provides simplified configuration
+ of the numeric keypad which is available on most keyboards.
