I'm using emacs on a macintosh running OS 10.2.3. one problem I have is that when I want to copy something from a mac application (like mozilla or word) into emacs, I copy it to the clipboard, but apple-v / paste does not work. (the reverse is true also: I can't copy stuff from emacs into a separate document or application) instead, the apple key seems to be a control key, so emacs is essentially not using the macintosh copy/paste properly. when I was running (x)emacs on a linux box, I had a 3 button mouse and could copy/paste with selection/second mouse key. If this is the preferred method of dealing with this problem i can get a 3 button mouse ;-) A second thing I would like to know how to do is in Oort Gnus v0.12, drag and drop an attachment into a mac folder. I'll post in the gnus newsgroup a bit later about this if no one in this group knows how to do this. here is the emacs-version info: GNU Emacs 21.3.50.4 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.3) of 2002-12-21 on cabledoc126.frazmtn.com thanks in advance! greg
