Not how it works in Solaris' "CDE":
To take something from an emacs buffer to another CDE "window"
(a "real" window, not what emacs calls "window"), do:
. regionize the stuff.
. do NOT do C-w; rather, press the "copy" button on the
keyboard (well, mine is a Sun keyboard, with two columns
of special keys, eg go-to-next-window ("front"), copy,
paste, etc, these 2 columns being on the left edge
of the keyboard (10 keys in all).
. Switch windows into the window the other app is
running in and wants-input, and hit the "paste" key.
Reverse direction, eg from something being shown in a dtterm
and putting it into an emacs buffer, at point:
. Mouse-blacken that area in the, say, dtterm.
. Hit Copy-button.
. Flip into the window emacs owns.
. *Usually*, C-y works. If not, hit the paste-button.
What if anything this scheme for Sun Solaris implies for
Linux, I don't know.
Hope this helps.
