Hi,

I've been using emacs/epoch for a while and I only know some basic commands
of this marvellous editor.

I wanted to know if there is a mean of selecting a column of text with epoch.

I know the commands:
          C-@		set-mark-command
          C-w		kill-region
          C-y		yank

which allow to do a line selection but I need to work with files where I have
to copy/paste/delete columns of data.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe what you need are the rectangle functions.  You
can see any help related to these commands in the
on line help:
