9/11    I'm looking for a way in emacs to cut and paste text into a column.
        I want to be able to split a text buffer into two vertical halves.
        And use the xterm copy and paste to put stuff into the left half
        and the right half.  Is there such a thing?  Manually indenting
        stuff into columns is killing me. Thanks.
        \_ textmodes/two-column.el --pld
        \_ i would use emacs to edit the left and right halves
           seperately, then use paste(1) or something similar to put
           them together
        \_ how about the rectangle functions in emacs? M-x apropos rectangle
           \- in addition to the above suggestions, possibly picture-mode.
              i often do this stuff with M-x align-regexp. ok tnx.
