Can anyone help? Hi Joe, good to see you again. Which Emacs version and operating system are you using (specifically which Unix?)? I used Emacs 23 from CVS, updated weekly (except this week!), and I have no problems whatsoever copying between Emacs and xterm or Firefox, with no tweaking of clipboard variables. Can anyone comment on this? Perhaps you should upgrade. Thanks, Joel -- Joel J.
