How > do you do that? 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
