Right. Maybe we should strive not to have either CUA or Emacs in the docs.
That is, CUA will automatically be there because of the underlined chars in
menu commands, but the docs could try to consistently give the menu commands
when describing how to do things. You can always put an Emacs binding in a
footnote. "If you want to do this faster, use the keyboard shortcut..." or
something.

Mike: could you give a couple examples of where the problem shows up?
