Cut and paste in Emacs

[Kris Maglione]

I, personally, still don't completely understand the entire unix/X cut 
buffer system. First, there is more than one cut buffer, but I doubt 
that that's your problem. Second, there is select-to-copy and 
select+right click.../ctrl+c/... to copy. These use two different 
systems, which, like I said, I still don't understand and haven't been 
able to figure out through research. Well, your problem likely has 
something to do with the method that (x?)emacs uses to copy.

That's just about all that I can tell you. There might be options in 
Xwin-32 to control how the cut/paste schemes work, but I've never used 
it, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

I hope that this helps. Sorry I don't know more.
