RE: Basic question X - whatever

["Soong, SylokeJ" <SSoong at ALLEGROMICRO dot com>]

With the clipboard enabled, do you know how to highlight, copy & paste
between win/xp and cygwin? I think that is his intent.

Microsoft(which you know):
copy is by selecting then ctrl-c or menu-copy.
paste is by ctrl-v or menu-paste.

Motif & cygwin:
Selecting text would spontaneously
(some people might prefer the term, automatically)
copy into clipboard.
Paste is by middle button click.

e.g. copying from MS to Cyg:
copy text from MS win, move cursor to cyg window and press/release middle
button.
Conversely from cyg to MS:
select text at cyg win, move mouse to MS win and ctrl-v.
Voila!

However, if you don't have a middle mouse button, or you had mapped that
button to do something else, you could use -emulate3buttons option
which would require you to press both mouse buttons together to emulate
the middle button.

Thanks, although I'm afraid I still fail to see Reid's single-click 
solution - but never mind, I think I am satisfied now that my own 
single-click solution (i.e. x in top right corner) is 'safe'.

Thanks, I'll try and get my head round that some time, but shouldn't it 
work with -clipboard in the startx command line?
