A/UX X11: How To Cut and Paste (6/93)


In A/UX X11 window System Release 4 under the "xterm" client application,
you can click the mouse button to save text into the cut buffer.

Here's how to cut and paste:

1) To cut text, use a click and drag technique as you do in the Macintosh
OS. That is, you move the pointer to the beginning of text to be
selected, press and hold the button, drag the mouse through the text to
be included, and release the button. The selected text is highlighted
and saved in the global cut buffer.

2) Once you have cut the desired text, move the mouse pointer to where the
cut buffer is to be pasted.

3) Press the "left arrow" key to insert (paste) the text from the cut
buffer as keyboard input in the xterm's window.

For more information, refer to the xterm(1) manual page, "pointer usage"
paragraph. Release 3 users can also read appropriate sections of the "X11
User's Guide for A/UX.
