Re: xterm and aixterm cut and paste

I also use Hummingbird. I have the mouse at my desk set up so when both
buttons are pressed it acts like a third IBM mouse middle button (paste).
All you have to do is highlight your text and depress both buttons and it's
coppied to the next command line in your Hummingbird x -session. To put
xterm text into a mail program such as Outlook, I just highlight the text
and press 'ctrl+v' (you obviously can't right click paste) and it pastes the
text in the message.

HTH,
Darryl

It doesn't stay white in the aixterm but it is still in the "clipboard"
nonetheless. I like what I select to stay highlighted, and that is the
ONE reason I use xterm and never use aixterm.

Do you have CLIPBOARD selected for X Selection Associated with Edit
Operations? (in XConfig)

Greetings

I am using exceed to get the desktop on my PC monitor.

when I use aixterm to login to RS6000 boxes, during cut and paste, the
highlighting (mark) part is not same as xterm. In xterm when i
highlight
(mark) the selected part stays white so I can go to edit and chose copy
x-selection , but the highlighting part doesn't stay white in
aixterm.

My main problem is some times I want to cut and paste info/script from
unix terminal to mail programs
it doesn't work. The configurion I have choosen for X selection is =>
primary, autocopy x selection, autopaste x selectcion.
My Exceed verion is 6.1.0

Please help

Regards & Thanks
BN
