How can I perform cut and >paste between two xterm windows? Highlight the text with mouse, of course. Then click middle button, or left+right where you want it pasted. It isn't as robust as Windows, but it works. I sometimes have problems when i don't paste immediately, i.e. there are other mouse clicks moving windows around before i actually paste. The text seems to get lost in the shuffle. So i try to have bot windows on top and ready. Also, it seems to me that you need to use an editor, not a view. Selecting text in a viewer (like the one in migdnight commander) doesn't work. I think it needs an editor. -=> jm <=- Actual penalty by referee in an American Football game: "Unsportsmanlike conduct: giving him the business! Fifteen yard penalty, automatic first down!"
