That's a standard problem (or is it feature?) with Emacs under Mandrake 9.1. using the RPMs. You can cut and paste from any X Program into Emacs but not visa versa. There are a couple of things you can do to change this: 1) I *believe* there is some LISP you can put in your .emacs to allow cut and paste from emacs. 2) There are 2 versions of Emacs included in the Emacs distribution. (No, XEmacs is not one of them). If you install the X11 version of Emacs Emacs will look much less Emacsish when it loads up (this may not coexist well with regular emacs -- I forget) but you will be able to cut and paste. > The other problem is that whenever I bring up a new EMACS buffer it puts > it into auto-fill mode which I find extremely annoying. Yup. That's the new default configuration -- for all those people who couldn't figure out how to turn auto fill mode on. :D. I'm not sure how you would turn that off but you could probably search for your default .emacs file and change things. -Dan
