[LUNI] Bind a string to a key

[Dave Basener]

Keith,
Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately it is not my editor that is
the problem (I have a bunch of macros for stuff like that in XEmacs). 
Where I have the need is in the Mozilla (1.2b) browser.  

The idea of using the X selection buffer is interesting - never done
something like that though.

Thanks
Dave Basener
