Jerry, the clipboard has suddenly stopped working under Windows. The following change: 2002-04-23 Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org&gt; * select.c (Fown_selection_internal): Document connection with interprogram-cut-function. * select.c (Fget_selection_internal): return Qnil if XEmacs owns the selection and it does not need coercion. Document connection with interprogram-paste-function. has done it. (Verified -- I backed out your change, and the problem went away.) The symptoms are this: i have f3 bound to copy-primary-selection, and f4 bound to yank-clipboard-selection. if i select text, hit f3, then move a bit, and hit f4, it used to work, but now i get the error "there is no clipboard selection". can you please take a look and see what's broken? if you can't get to it right away i suggest backing out the change and putting it back again when it's working. ben
