Re: Copy Paste to Windows

Yes, your problem must be the version of the xserver. If you had the 
right version all
you'd have to do would be:

To copy from cygwin to Windows
(1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy
(2) the highlighted text is now on the clipboard
(3) if you want to paste that selection into word or notepad then use 
CTRL-V on the windows side


To copy from Windows to cygwin
(1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy
(2) press CTRL-C to copy seletion into clipboard
(3) go into your xterm and press the middle mouse button to paste. If 
you don't have a
3 button mouse use the -emulate3buttons option in the startxwin.bat 
file. Then, to paste, all you'd have to do is press the two mouse 
buttons simultaneously.

To copy from cygwin to cygwin
(1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy
(2) that puts the selection into the clipboard
(3) place the cursor where you want to paste the text
(4) press the middle mouse button (or the two mouse buttons 
simultaneously if using the -emulate3buttons option)

That's all.
