[comp.windows.x] xterm & cut/paste

jp@linus.UUCP (Jeffrey Picciotto) (05/16/89)

Here's a simple novice question:

Can xterm be told to use the selection mechanism (specifically CLIPBOARD)
in favour of the CUT_BUFFERs for cutting and pasting?  (As per the ICCCM.)

I can get xterm to cut to the CLIPBOARD ok, but it seems that in order to
get it to use the selection mechanism to request the data to paste, parts
of button.c must be modified.

Am I wrong?  If so, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
