I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking. What is the distinction you're making between clipboard and selection? In any case, shift-insert has always pasted the current selection in to xterm for me. Things get more complex if you're trying to deal with other software, though. Some applications or desktop environments have their own clipboards independent of the X selection (is that what you're referring to?). Mozilla 1.1 seems to try to use both an internal clipboard AND the X selection simultaneously and ends up just being confusing and a nuisance. > 2) Is there a way to select an area with the mouse that extends up past > into the scroll-back buffer?

Don't know about this one, it's not something I normally need to do. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
