Re: cut 'n' paste
I'm sorry but I'm none the wiser.
I downloaded and installed xwinclip and started it after XWin using the start /B switch (which by the way doesn't appear to work for me as I have a command window left open on a win2k system). But even with this installed I still don't get cut/copy 'n' paste between xterms, applications, rxvt, or windows applications.
I don't have a 3 button mouse but pressing left and right together doesn't work.
Any ideas what I am or maybe doing wrong?
