Re: How to do rectangular cut(visual block) in emacs

[Tim X]

Move point to the top left corner and set the mark
Move point to the bottom right hand corner 
Hit C-x r r <reg> where <reg> is a register. This will copy the
rectangle defined by the region into register <reg> 

Later, when you want to get that rectangle of text back, just hit C-x r
i <reg> and the contents of <reg> will be pasted into the buffer where
point is.
