Ah, but suppose that one wants to copy out from something being edited 
with mcedit into some other place? For example, you are writing code and 
you would like to discuss some code snippet with a colleague. So you open 
pine and start an e-mail and want to copy into the e-mail. What then?

The point is, mcedit needs to be not just friendly to itself but also to 
other applications.
