Problem with cutting and pasteing to the X cut buffer

I am running Epoch 3.2 on a HP 425 which is running HP-UX 7.05.  I am using a
NCD X terminal to connect to the HP.  My problem is that the mouse
functions don't seem to work for me as the documentation suggests.  It
says that I should be able to copy text using left-click-and-drag.  I
can only copy using left-click then right-click-and-drag.  When I do
copy or cut text, it only goes into the ring kill buffer, NOT the X
cut buffer.  Also, I can't paste text from the X cut buffer.

It seems as if not all of the Epoch lisp functions load into Epoch.
If I do a listing of epoch:: functions, I only have 6, instead of the
multitude that I am suppose to have.  Even the wrapper functions that
wrap around the epoch:: don't seem to be there.  

Does anyone have a clue about my problem?  I would really love to use
Epoch, but lack of use of the X cut buffer can put a hamper on things.

Please post any help, because I can't be reached easily be email.

Thanks.
