Additionally let's say that along the way I killed some other text so that C-y yanks back that more recently killed text instead of the one I saved first. In that case ESC C-y will rotate the kill ring to the previous killed text. Repeating ESC C-y again rotates to the one before it. So can walk back through until finding the text I want to yank back. :-) Bob
