Ok.  I found it awkward to use.  One has to go to the end of the list
that appears from a search for 'xfig' - and then it is not easy to
find the relevant postings.  I didn't find the discussion if there was
one ...

That would be good!

I put text into my OS X buffer but it doesn't paste into the window.

I found that I have the old xfig binary but it now doesn't allow
typing in text boxes either!  I suspect that my switch to XQuartz is
responsible.  Does anyone know about this?  How do I switch back to
X11?
