Since you are using Emacs 22: *** Some commands do something special in Transient Mark mode when the mark is active--for instance, they limit their operation to the region. Even if you don't normally use Transient Mark mode, you might want to get this behavior from a particular command. There are two ways you can enable Transient Mark mode and activate the mark, for one command only. One method is to type C-SPC C-SPC; this enables Transient Mark mode and sets the mark at point. The other method is to type C-u C-x C-x. This enables Transient Mark mode temporarily but does not alter the mark or the region. After these commands, Transient Mark mode remains enabled until you deactivate the mark. That typically happens when you type a command that alters the buffer, but you can also deactivate the mark by typing C-g. (from the etc/NEWS file) -- Johan Bockgård
