Hello all,

I've been trying to cut&paste under XFree 3.1 but find I am unable to.

I'm using the following configuration:

	* Microsoft 2 button mouse.
	*  fvwm Window Manager
	* gpm -t ms is loaded in my rc.local setup 
		(this allows put and paste via
		 the console screen)

So how do I get cut&paste under XWindows?

I had a look through the man pages on 'xterm' but it only mentions
3 button mouses and the third button is your paste!  :(

Can I achieve this somehow on only 2 buttons?

Regards,

Matt.
