18.57 view-mode complaints: What if I want to copy-region-as-kill (ESC w) part of the file I'm viewing? Since C-a, C-b etc. are disabled I have difficulty getting point & mark to the region I want. When you hit C-h m to describe mode, It seems to mostly describe the default-major-mode, with the one line "View Mode" pasted on top. I would have reproduced that help screen here, but view-mode is careful not to let evidence of its help screens' transgressions be reproducible in public: "Type anything to continue viewing luvbug.h" and "Space scrolls forward. Other keys continue viewing vm-reply.el" [I can't write-region, write-file, the help screen. (Don't you just hate that when certain "help" situations in emacs won't let you do any of the normal keystrokes in order to trap what it says---most folks can't even print it out to paper for deeper long term studying.)] Too bad view-mode has a special C-h b, etc. different from the usual ones.
