[comp.windows.news] Pending Delete Secondary Selections

murray@castle.ed.ac.uk (D Laing) (02/08/91)

I am using openwindows v2.0 on a sun4, my problem is that I cannot make the
secondary selection pending delete in texteditors. This is a facility on the
sunview texteditor that I used frequently, particularily for rearranging large
sections of text.

The manual pages say that this should be possible by using the control key during
selection, but all this seems to do is suspend the selection service in secondary mode
until I restart the selection. I have also tried using the command line options

 -Ea On
 -adjust_is_pending_delete

That in principle automatically make the selection pending delete when it is
adjusted, this is only results in the texteditor complaining of an invalid
option.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
