Hmmm...so instead of actually reading my post, several folks have responded ... presumably just looking at the words "cut" and "paste" in my post and responding with a tutorial on how to use my mouse buttons. Thanks.
So I'll start all over. I am running X on fbsd 5.3, with ratpoison as my window manager. I only run two apps - xterms (1 or 2 or 3 of them) and opera (my web browser). I can cut text in my xterms by simply highlighting it, and I can paste that text back into that xterm, or a different xterm by clicking my right mouse button. So yes, I know how to cut and paste thank you very much. I can also cut and paste in opera by selecting text and choosing edit->copy from the menu - I can then paste that text back into opera with edit->paste, or shift+insert, and FURTHER, I can paste that text into any of my xterms, with shift+insert OR with my right mouse button. THE PROBLEM IS, if I cut text in an xterm, I cannot paste it in opera. That is the only problem. So to recap, I know how to cut and paste - thanks. No need for the mouse button tutorials. All I want to know is, why can I not properly cut and paste from xterm TO opera, when I can already do it successfully gtom opera TO xterm ? Thanks. Hopefully anyone responding will actually read the post this time. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
