I still cannot reproduce it. As I said in last mail, killing the region with C-w creates a new entry on the kill-ring, separated from the previous entry with the same contents created by the mouse-button. So each time you cut you'll get redundandy in kill-ring but thats harmless. Can you please supply information on your Epoch version and the platform it is running on? Epoch 3.2.2, Sun sparc SLC, OS 4.1.1, OpenWindows 2.0 Im an ignorant man on Epoch mouse setup, and I assume Im using the "standard" setup. My mouse.el is 8398 bytes and probably standard. I have a newer sun-mouse.el but I doubt it is used by epoch. It is counter-intuitive on Open Windows. You have to hit the "Copy" or the "Cut" keys to put something marked with the mouse on the clipboard. Then you retrieve it with the "Paste" key. This behaviour was inherited from SunView. Normal X (and I believe, Motif) use the primary selection for pasting, and the mouse for "pasting". I have changed the mouse keys to the Open Windows settings (Select, Extend, Menu (well, it's not used right now). Im sure you can setup the "cut" "paste" & "copy" keys to do what you want provided you have the knowledge. In general, Im not sure its necessary for epoch to comply 100% with the peculiarities of OpenWindows or SunView. About 90% of the cut/paste operations that I do, I do in the text editor. If its possible, Im happy to skip an explicit "copy" (M-w) in this process. Jonas Jaernestroem Ericsson Telecom Sweden. jonas@ericad.ericsson.se
