	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?
