Thank you for helping me to solve the problem.

I did use this option and it didn't work for me. I set the CUA in option and 
it is working. One point that probably confuse people is that even in this 
case, the short cuts in edit menu is not C-x and C-c and so on.

I think I don't have the patched version. I will try to see what I can do 
with this but  as long as I am not closing emacs after each edit, I don't 
need to restart it. I am happy!

It happens before to me but it is working well now. I will post the details 
if it happens again to me.





More on new and old problems that I have:



1- I can set speedbar and used it. It is a very useful facility. The problem 
is that I can not dock it into emacs. Is there any way to dock it into emacs 
so it doesn't start as a new window?

2- If I have a file that I modified with ISE, when I open it with Emacs, I 
can see a ^M at the end of each line. This generates error during 
indentation. I could not find any way to fix it. I only can remove them 
manually which is time consuming. Any way to do this in emacs or ISE or by 
any other tools?



One suggestion:

  As during editing, it is possible to edit several files, is there any way 
to save all files just by pressing a button on toolbar or a menu item?



My view of emacs for editing VHDL is no changed and I am very happy to use 
it with VHDL.



Best regards and thanks for helping to use emacs.
