Re: Menu item for delete-selection-mode (was: DEL key doesn't kill mouse-dragged region)

[Richard M. Stallman]

    transient-mark-mode is currently disabled by default, and has a menu
    item to easily enable it.  delete-selection-mode is disabled too, but
    has no menu item to enable it.  What about adding it to the Option
    menu?  delete-selection-mode is no less useful than transient-mark-mode,
    especially for beginners.

I am not sure it is so useful.  Please let's not have a discussion of
this.  Please everyone, could you work on the many tasks listed in
FOR-RELEASE?
