I see, you use transient-mark-mode. At least in CVS emacs you
can enable transient-mark-mode temporally (by hitting C-SPC
twice). So i don't see any reason why to have it enabled.
Anyway, probably registers will help you (eg. C-x r SPC 1 RET,
scroll around and C-x r j 1 RET, more in the emacs manual).
