I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you are asking here?

thanx for replying.
what i am asking is how actauly to cut out parts of wav files cleanly when i want to burn result to cd.
i have cep 2.1 time format setup to cd 75 fps.
now i zoom in to wav area (so i can see the samples-maybe too much zoom?) i want to cut out.
now what would be the best way to make the cut so as not to get any pops or clicks in results? the cuti wish to make is silence and about a second or two max.
thanx again

OK - I think I get the picture now. If you really are just cutting out silence, then you probably won't have much of a problem, no matter where you make the edit points.
For more complete 'mini tutorial' on editing, have a look at this thread;
'Getting rid of pops'
This covers most of the basic operations. You will find it easier to turn off the snapping while you are doing this work. You only need the snap to frames when you are chopping a long file into sections for transfer to CD (so you will then have track numbers).
If you are at sample level, that's way too tight a zoom for this sort of work. If you want to use keyboard commands, the standard Windows copy, cut, paste, and restore commands work fine.

Highlight section, CTRL-X.
If you are using the keyboard to make your selections, It's really worth learning the shortcuts, I changed my selection ones onto the number pad to make it easy. Go to Options/Shortcuts (Alt+K) and chose Scroll/Select in the Catagory drop down to see what they are. The defalts are H,j,K & L for adjusting the selection boundaries.
if you are only cutting silence then as graeme says, there sholdn't be a problem but if there is something on there then before performing the cut EDIT > Zero Crossings> chose the most apropriate option.

Although there some good arguments for cutting at the zero crossing point, you must ensure the direction of the waveform is correct. You can't splice a positive going waveform to a negative going one.
Also, it's not absolutely necessary to cut at the zero point - sometimes, there are better places - it depends on the material, etc.
