In GNU Emacs 19.22.1 of Sat Apr 2 1994 on brauer (berkeley-unix) The Info node for Killing contains the following documentation. > You can use kill commands in read-only buffers. They don't actually > change the buffer, and they beep to warn you of that, but they do copy > the text you tried to kill into the kill ring, so you can yank it into > other buffers. This works with M-d, M-DEL, C-k, C-w, M-z, and C-M-k, but not with M-k (kill-sentence), C-x DEL (backward-kill-sentence), or C-x r k (kill-rectangle); these kills beep and don't yank the text.
