Handling the Kill Ring
**********************

   The kill ring is a list that is transformed into a ring by the
workings of the `rotate-yank-pointer' function.  The `yank' and
`yank-pop' commands use the `rotate-yank-pointer' function.  This
appendix describes the `rotate-yank-pointer' function as well as both
the `yank' and the `yank-pop' commands.

rotate-yank-pointer

Move a pointer along a list and around.

yank

Paste a copy of a clipped element.

yank-pop

Insert first element pointed to.
