The issue is that Emacs was evidently unable to copy-paste text from such a file into another X application. Maybe that is a real bug, but we can't tell for certain from the cose of an Arc program that was treated as an archive. ARC mode probably gets confused if the file is not an archive. Maybe that confusion is the cause of the other problem. So the next step is to see if the cut and paste problem happens with a file that is being visited in the right mode: either an Arc program visited in the right mode for an Arc program, or a real ARC archive visited in ARC mode.
