Subject: bug#19773: 23.2; kill-rectangle documentation
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2015 15:09:29 +0000

Hello,

The documentation string for kill-rectangle erroneously speaks about the
kill ring.  Rectangles of text are not copied to the kill ring, but in
the variable kill-rectangle, which besides is not a ring.

This can be puzzle new users.

Regards

Vincent Douzal
