I just installed epoch 4.0p0 for SunOS 4.1.1, Open Look and have a
problem and a couple of questions.

Problem:

When I select a region with the mouse, then do a copy-region-as-kill
(M-w), then a yank, I get the contents of the region inserted twice.
Could I be doing something wrong? The copy seems to work OK with
the middle mouse button but not with M-w.

Question #1:

I thought the new release of Epoch was going to offer support for
getting text selections to/from other X application like Open Look
command tools. I am probably missing something here but I can't find
anything about this.


Question #2:

How can I reverse the functions of the middle mouse button and the
right mouse button so that the behavior is more like the Open Look
mouse behavior?

Thanks in advance.

(let

    (right-up (aref mouse::global-map (mouse::index mouse-right mouse-up)))
    (middle-down (aref mouse::global-map (mouse::index mouse-middle mouse-down)))
    (middle-up (aref mouse::global-map (mouse::index mouse-middle mouse-up)))

What if I want to select something with the mouse, cut it, and paste it
somewhere? I will get the selected text twice. Is there any way around
this behaviour? Right now, I'm use keyboard commands.
