I tried this and it seems to work if I run "emacs -nw" from an xterm
but I can't get it to work if I run emacs in its own window. Any help
in getting this to work would be appreciated as highlighting is one of
the things I miss most when making selections etc.
BTW I am running Openwindow 3.0 and SUNOS 4.1.3 on a SUN SS2
