I am looking for information concerning the functional aspects of
OSF/Motif. Particulary, I need to know what Motif offers (or will offer)
to the user in terms of data interchange between applications.
 
Windows and Presentation Manager have a Clipboard and the Dynamic Data
Exchange protocol. Does Motif have similar facilities? Is it possible
to, for example, mark the result of a database query with the mouse,
drag it to a wordprocessor's window and insert the data?
 
Is it possible to construct 'hot' links between applications? Does Motif
support printers the way Windows and PM do? And is this functionality
already a part of Motif or will it available sometime in the future?
 
If anyone has answers to these questions or knows where to find the
information (does the OSF have an email-address? :-)), I'd be happy to
hear about it.
