So normally you copy or cut as usual in MacOSX, then you switch to emacs and type: C-y to paste. (To copy is called kill-ring-save M-w and to cut is called kill-region C-w, but if you use emacs on X, then everytime you select (mark) a region, it's automatically "copied"). -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Until real software engineering is developed, the next best practice is to develop with a dynamic system that has extreme late binding in all aspects. The first system to really do this in an important way is Lisp. -- Alan Kay
