I guess that speng really means - "how do I paste from one X Window to
another?"  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.
