The Eterm terminal provides a great font by default I really enjoy. It is smaller and I can work on more source code than I do with the misc-fixed font of Xterm. So I usually run emacs with -nw. Unfortunately there is no way to copy paste something from one emacs window to a terminal or from a terminal to the emacs window I am editing. This is a real headache, since one of the most foundamental stuff an editor is supposed to do, is to support copy and paste of text from whatsoever source to the window where editing takes place. Is there anyway I could activate this "underestimated" feature in the mode I am using emacs? I apologize if this email sounds aggressive but there are some things an editor is supposed to do by default and I cannot understand why they are turned off in emacs. We all know that emacs and vim documentation (as well the documentation and manpages of many other Unix apps) is not providing what is supposed to. Too much text explaining features in an language only the ones who already know understand without giving any .emacs examples to help us catch up. Having that in mind is there any full featured samples .emacs file with comments explaining what is done here or there which enables in emacs everything that should be enabled by default, or which provides the features which are mandatory for editing source code and latex documents? Best, S.N.
