Hi Dave, Thanks for that tip. Is is possible to the get just the code snippet that will help me copy the register contents to a file? Another thing I would like to know is doesn't vim inherently support this? Is this not what +xterm_clipboard was supposed to do? Why then is it not working for me?
Thanks in advance.
