> Has anybody managet to get cut and paste between epoch and openwindows > working correctly? ... Yes it works easily enough, it's just a little awkward in terms of the operations required. Here's the relevant excerpt from my epoch-tailoring file (I use a Sun SPARCstation IPX running SunOS 4.1.2 and OW): ;; Allow cut and paste selections to come from OpenLook windows, by using ;; CLIPBOARD rather than the default PRIMARY. From the epoch 4.0 manual... (setq mouse::selection-atom (intern-atom "CLIPBOARD")) ;; Install handler for selection-clear on this selection (push-selection mouse::selection-atom 'mouse-clear) ;; The above still doesn't make things entirely simple. To get text from ;; an epoch window into a cmdtool or shelltool window, select it by wiping ;; the cursor across the source selection while holding down the left ;; mouse key. Then move the cursor into the destination window and press ;; the "Paste" key on the left-hand side of the keyboard. To copy text in ;; the other direction, select it similarly in the cmdtool window, press ;; the "Copy" key, move the cursor to the epoch window, and press the ;; middle mouse button where you want the text to appear. (Sometimes I ;; have to actually hold the middle mouse button down for a fraction of a ;; second---a light click doesn't always seem to register).
