Might depend on how you're doing the "copy". Just highlighting a section of text is enough to "copy" for purposes within Emacs itself; Emacs can paste that in just fine. And SOMETIMES that same block can be pasted into other applications. But some applications seem to draw ONLY from the Windows clipboard. To work with those, I specifically do an Emacs "copy" using Esc-w (or Ctrl-w and Ctrl-y to cut and restore the original ). Then the text is in Windows' clipboard and pastes just fine in every app I've used. (I haven't specifically tried xterms, though. Mike
