Hi, I use my Cygwin mainly for connecting to various UNIX hosts throught the company ,and export terminals and other apps back to my local Cygwin/Windows XP display.
Anyway, the reason for this post is to make others aware, as I have not seen it mentioned in the archives, - so forgive me if it's there and I missed it - that in order to copy and paste text from an exported SUN dtterm back into Windows (notepad or something), you have to select the dtterm text, CTRL-Insert (copy) within the dtterm, then SELECT some other text from a regular cygwin xterm to push the dtterm text into the clipboard, then you can paste into Windows. If you don't selct the subsequent text from a Cygwin xterm, the dtterm never gets pushed intot he clipboard and you can't past your dtterm text into Windows. You can, however, copy and paste by merely selecting and middle clicking anywhere in Xwindows, or from xterm to windows, just not from dtterm to windows without using the above method. I've tried this numerous times, with the latest xwinclip installed, and using Blackbox as my Window Manager. The other thing that won't work within dtterm is if you open a file in vi the SHIFT special characters, like #, won't work. I get a beep. Anyone know how to fix that one? Regards, -- Tom Connelly
