About the clipboard, I also found this in the Problems/defects section of the help: """ DEFECT Cut and Paste menu items fail, or possibly crash, for very large (multi-megabyte) selections. Work Around Use selection copy (middle mouse button click) for transferring larger quantities of data. Cut and Paste save the copied text in server memory, which is usually limited. """ Does this mean that NEdit does NOT use the clipboard (which is very much like the primary/secondary buffer) in the way it is nowadays meant to be used? This looks like the (discouraged) cut buffers to me, but I might be very wrong... Or is this the result of the implementation by the *tif library? I see that lesstif supports copying by name, I do not no about motif. It would help me if somebody could explain. Again, I have [1] in mind.
