I am still waiting for a debian package to test jed 99.17 (too busy writing
my thesis (and depending on jed for that) to start compiling).

This is what delete_cmd() is for: make the DEL behave like in most cua
application. Actually, it tests for a *visible* region, so a region set
with push_mark() will not be affected. This prevents nasty accidents,
as might happen else e.g. in the minibuffer.

Is there a reson, why delete_cmd() was not included in the standard
cua.sl? How about backspace_cmd()?

repeat_search() is actually nice to have not only for cua. Similar
functions are ws_repeat_search() (in wordstar.sl) and most_find_n() in
most.sl.

I remember a discussion whether repeat_search() should go to site.sl...
