I'm mainly concerned about xterm, but I take back part of what I said.
The last time I ran fvwm on the Sun box was a couple of months ago, but I
didn't get around to asking the list until now. I may have upgraded my
xterm in the interim, because now the keys perform the same action as
mouse copying and pasting.
I suppose this is really an xterm question after all, so this may be the
wrong place to ask, but I will anyway. What I notice is that dtterm has
the ability, in fvwm as well as CDE, to hold different text in the buffer
used for the Copy key after the mouse buffer has been replaced with newer
text. If anyone out there knows how this is done, I'd appreciate knowing
the secret.

I'd do this if I could put up with dtterm for any length of time, but I
can't, it's just not as configurable.
