Is there any way to change the manner in which my VAXstation 2000 running DECwindows grabs text with the mouse? Currently the mouse grabs full lines of text. Is there any way to grab a rectangle of text (ala Macintosh or VWSwindows)? I'd like to grab columns of text sometimes instead of always full lines. I appreciate any help you can give me.

It is possible to write a text editor or terminal emulator with this feature. As far as I know, though, none of the out-of-the-box DECwindows applications have it.

I don't know whether it can be modified to work via the mouse or not.
