Emacs Copy Paste... Kill, Delete?

Hi guys
I'm using Emacs:
I want to delete a word without ctrl-w, so that I can then replace it with ctrl-f.
Can anyone help?


P.s. I'm using Casey .emacs file

Not really getting your point :)
you mean overwrite?

or delete selection?

Good luck
I'm investigating further, maybe what I'm looking for is move the pointer of the kill-ring to the previous item, so that I can paste the previous string that I killed
Someone knows how?
