#because I work fromn home alot at 1200 baud.  To highlight a region requires
#redrawing the whole region then to un-highlight it requires redrawing it
#again.  Using ^X^X twice is probably alot faster than this. My time is too
#valuable for the unecessary screen redrawing.  (saving time is why I prefer
#emacs in the first place!)

	For God's sake, better modem is not that expensive.  If I were
	you who think 'time is too valuable', I would drop a few $20's to
	get a decent modem.
