Hm. Not quite. `pc-selection-mode' is off (e.g. the variable is nil), though
what you say about the arrow keys is true. Thanks for pointing that out.
BTW -
I'm no expert on PC selection mode, but playing with it a bit and looking at the
doc, it seems that the behavior (but not the doc) has changed from Emacs 22 to
23 - no doubt due to the arrow-key change you refer to.
The doc for `pc-selection-mode' says that UNshifted arrow keys disable the mark
(I guess it should say "deactivate", not "disable"). But I don't see that
happening in Emacs 23. In Emacs 23, the arrow keys extend the active region,
whether or not they are shifted, and whether or not `pc-selection-mode' is
turned on.
Perhaps someone knowledgable can compare the `pc-selection-mode' behaviors in 22
and 23, and report back with (a) a summary and (b) whether the Emacs 23 behavior
is as documented.

Actually, `pc-selection-mode' enables `delete-selection-mode' (hence also
t-m-mode).
FWIW, my own vote is still for `delete-selection-mode', not `pc-selection-mode'
as the default.
