I had a really nice mouse package for emacs that gave me the ability to
cut and paste into the X-buffer and resize and create windows and also
had some help menus in X.  I lost it.  Could someone send me a copy or
tell me EXACTLY where I can get one.

Your best be it to get Epoch -- epoch is a version of emacs that was written
for X.  I'm using it with no complaints.

From the Epoch info file in my Epoch installation:

     Epoch is available by anonymous ftp on `cs.uiuc.edu'.  We are
     negotiating to have it available through other sites, and through
     uucp mail request.  Send mail to `epoch-request@cs.uiuc.edu' to find
     out the current status with this if you do not have anonymous ftp.

If you don't find it there, try using archie to get an EXACT idea of
EXACTLY where you might find it.

Sounds like you may be referring to Epoch.  It provides a GUI (mouse-driven)
X-interface to EMACS.  It is available via anonymous ftp from cs.uiuc.edu.
