I have the following lines in my startup to support cut/paste
between Epoch and Openwin:

;; *** 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"))
(push-selection mouse::selection-atom 'mouse-clear)


I can't seem to do any pasting into my xterms now.  Is there a method
for setting up Epoch so that all both cut/paste paths are supported?

   Epoch <--> Xterm
   Epoch <--> Openwin(cmdtool, dialog boxes, etc)
