Moved up to emacs 24. Unfortunately I = also changed from AIX 5.3 host to a AIX 6.1 host. So, two things = changed. I see in News where things have changed as far as the clipboard and = selection but I can't figure out what to do. To add insult to injury, I'm running emacs on an AIX 6.1 host with the = display pointed to a VNC server. I then connect to it using Jolly VNC = on a Mac. So, there are many hip-pity-hops. Everything works as I would expect *except* from emacs to a Mac client. = This use to work in emacs 22. I have a copy of xclip so I can dump out the primary, secondary, and = clipboard text. As documented, when I select text with the mouse, it appears in the = Primary selection. On an xterm running on the same VNC server, I can = paste that text. I can not paste the text into a Mac terminal. When I do M-w, the text is copied into the clipboard. I can still paste = it using middle-mouse button into an xterm. I still can not paste it = into a Mac terminal (or any Mac application). When I select text using the mouse in the xterm, I can not yank it into = a buffer in emacs. But I can paste it into a Mac terminal. What really blows my mind, is I can select text in the Mac window and = paste it into the xterm window but it is *not* in any of the "Primary = Selection", "Secondary Selection", nor "Clipboard" according to xclip. Any help or advice on this? Thank you, Perry
