It is easy to do *within* an xterm or within an emacs frame. But how do I paste from rmail into lynx? Surely the answer to that depends on the clipboard server that is running - which is distribution dependent, isn't it? CDE has one style of clipboard. On my SuSE Fvwm95 there is no clipboard as standard AFAIK. So I don't think there is any way my mouse can work like it would in CDE. Clipboard servers are included in KDE and in GNOME (it is reputed.) I understand that all work differently. But does anyone have a recommendation as to what is easily installed from YaST and is widely supported by applications? Then I will install it and try it. In conclusion I should confess that I don't really care what speng's question was, the blame for the above question is entirely my own. dproc -- To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
