Hardware: Sun SparcStation 1+
OS: SunOS 4.0.3/4.1.1
Version: 18.57.6

I was trying to customize the right mouse button to do a certain
function, but it wasn't successful.  Could you help me with this
problem?

We have version 18.57.6 of emacs with some modifications put in by
someone called "ange" -- I looked at the modified lisp/x-mouse.el to get
this name.  These modifications allow us to select and highlight
text.

1. Now, I want to customize the right mouse button for my Sparc
workstation to to x-cut-text, instead of
ange-x-paste-text-at-text-cursor.  

2. I added these lines to my .emacs.el file 

  (defconst x-button-right (char-to-string 0))
  (defconst x-button-middle (char-to-string 1))
  (define-key mouse-map x-button-right 'x-cut-text)
  (define-key mouse-map x-button-middle 'x-paste-text)

byte-compile it, and ran emacs.

3. The result was this.  The middle mouse button did x-paste-text, but
the right mouse button was still doing ange-x-paste-text-
at-text-cursor.  

4.  However, when I executed 
  (define-key mouse-map x-button-right 'x-cut-text)
in an emacs buffer, the right button did get customised.

It seems as though between execution of the .emacs.elc and the
displaying of the *scratch* buffer, the right mouse was somehow set
back to ange-x-paste-text-at-text-cursor . 

Does anyone know what's going on?

Please email responses - I don't read this group regularly.
