There are 2 main (actually 3) buffers in X where it stores stuff you select and cut and paste. One of these gets used by apps when you do ctrl+c or ctrl+x in a gnome app for instance. (and possibly in emacs when killing?) And the other gets filled as soon as you select something. [1] So to make a long story short, select the text with your mouse, go over to the other app, press the middle mouse button. greets, Wim [1] http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/ClipboardsWiki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
