I'd like to use the mouse on my terminal to sweep out portions of an EMACS window for pasting into some other window. Unfortunately, since EMACS inserts backslashes into continued lines, I get these unwanted backslashes in the cut-out portion. How do I turn this feature off? The only hook to modify this behavior I know of is (setq truncate-lines t) but that's no good because I don't want to truncate the line: I want all of it displayed in its undoctored form. In short, is there some way to prevent EMACS from inserting backslashes into continued lines? Rick Greer AT&T Bell Labs rxga@ulysses.att.com
