I'll make my usual recommendation - (I think this is the third time, so a search of this group would have helped you). I don't use -clipboard. I have a shortcut to xwinclip and start/stop it on demand. This way the funky X selections in xterm and emacs don't usually affect me. If I need to copy/paste between X and MS-Windows I start xwinclip and the close it afterwards. Cary
