 It is a terminal emmulation problem (probably combined with the stupid 
control Mac playes over our keystrokes ;-(): on some Mac's here it 
doesn't work (some of those don't repeat keys held down either, 
incidentally), on most it does - and it's never a problem with PC 
terminal programs! For Ctrl-C etc. the Esc-Esc works, maybe it would for 
Ctrl-^ too ?!

Maybe I'm just being too clueless to understand the real 
    problem, but it sounds like some of youss guyss are forgetting, 
    after you type ^^, to move the cursor to the other end of the 
    block you want to cut. _Then_ you hit ^K, and it all goes.
        If you want, so I'm told, you can move the cursor to still 
    another place and hit ^U to make it all come back there, but I 
    have yet to find occasion to try.
