I just built emacs 18.57 for my Sun SLC, running SunOS4.1.1 with X11 with XMenu. All is well, except that the mouse doesn't perform quite as advertised in the manual pages. I do get: Shift-right: Paste text ctrl-mid cut text & kill it ctrl-right Select this window then split it ctrl-shift-left X buffer menu ctl-shift-mid X help menu ctl-shift-right = ctrl-x 1 I don't get: left set mark mid set cursor right select emacs window Instead, left moves the cursor (including between windows). Middle also pastes. I haven't quite figured out what right is doing, although I think it's cut. (At least left followed by right cuts in between them.) No mouse action sets the mark. When I try to find out what the keys are bound to with ctrl-h k, for all mouse combinations I get back C-x C-@, x-flush-mouse-queue, which is obviously a lie. Oh yes, my window manager is twm, and I get the above behavior even with no .emacs file at all. Ideas?
