Thanks for the reply, Jon. Exactly "how" do I use xclipboard...??? Here's how I'm starting Xwin right now in a Windows Script called startx.bat: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash -c "PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin;XWin -clipboard -logverbose 3 -ac -query cdcxvd0559.con-way.com -fp \"tcp/cdcxvd0559.con-way.com:8000,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/\" &" You'll notice I use XDMCP to establish a CDE session on cdcxvd0559... I've tried starting xclipboard in the same script, after starting Xwin (and sometimes even specifying -noclipboard)... and I always get an IO error.... and X-win dies. -tony -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
