Re: cut and paste between Cygwin emacs and Win2k windows?

You have to use the "-clipboard" parameter... and it is a little buggy and your selected text will be immediately unselected. (Don't comment on the unselection thing unless you are an amazing programmer and you have a fix in hand; in other words, it is more difficult to fix than you could possibly imagine.)

If you run emacs under XFree86 with a recent "server test series",
xclipboard is integrated and this happens automatically.  Dunno about
selecting text with a mouse, but C-w/M-w works great.

Is there a way to select text in a cygwin emacs window, copy it, and paste it into a Win2k window? In linux, for example, KDE provides a clipboard utility (Klipper?) that provides this capability.
