It is strange .. copying and pasting to and from xdosemu (text
programs only, of course) *does* works fine in 1.3. And it works
irrespective of the font used, and whether the text window is
resizable or not!

I only *thought* it did not work, because I could not see the
selected text highlighted in the program I tried it with.

But even if you cannot see the selection highlighted, it is copied
into the buffer, as you can see by pasting it into another program
running in a Linux xterm.

Why selections are highlighted in some programs and not in others,
I have no idea. Even within the same program there are
differences. For instance in Turbo C, selections are highlighted
in the main edit screen, but not in the help screens. But
selections can be taken from both of them.

Regards, Jan
