On Linux/Unix, pasting from the primary X selection is done with "*p and pasting from the clipboard is done with "+p - presumably you're running a Cygwin vim, since it works fine with Rxvt's PTYs, so I would expect you to need "+p for pasting. I can't test this, at present, though, so you'll have to let me know if it works... ~Matt -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
