- The _x_c_u_t_s_e_l program is used to copy the current selection
- into a cut buffer and to make a selection that contains
- the current contents of the cut buffer. It acts as a
- bridge between applications that don't support selections
- and those that do.
-
- By default, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l will use the selection named PRIMARY
- and the cut buffer CUT_BUFFER0. Either or both of these
- can be overridden by command line arguments or by
- resources.
-
- An _x_c_u_t_s_e_l window has the following buttons:
-
- _q_u_i_t
- When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l exits. Any
- selections held by _x_c_u_t_s_e_l are automatically
- released.
-
- _c_o_p_y _P_R_I_M_A_R_Y _t_o _0
- When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l copies the
- current selection into the cut buffer.
-
- _c_o_p_y _0 _t_o _P_R_I_M_A_R_Y
- When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l converts the
- current contents of the cut buffer into the selec-
- tion.
-
- The button labels reflect the selection and cutbuffer
- selected by command line options or through the resource
- database.
-
- When the ``copy 0 to PRIMARY'' button is activated, the
- button will remain inverted as long as _x_c_u_t_s_e_l remains the
- owner of the selection. This serves to remind you which
- client owns the current selection. Note that the value of
- the selection remains constant; if the cutbuffer is
- changed, you must again activate the copy button to
- retrieve the new value when desired.

- _X_c_u_t_s_e_l accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
- options as well as the following:

- abbreviations for this option are ``-select'',
- ``-sel'' and ``-s'', as the standard toolkit

- --ccuuttbbuuffffeerr _n_u_m_b_e_r
- This option specifies the cut buffer to use. The
- default is cut buffer 0.

- This program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit
- resource names and classes as well as:
-
- sseelleeccttiioonn ((class SSeelleeccttiioonn))
- This resource specifies the name of the selection
- to use. The default is PRIMARY.
-
- ccuuttBBuuffffeerr ((class CCuuttBBuuffffeerr))
- This resource specifies the number of the cut

- This is the ``copy SELECTION to BUFFER'' button.
-
- ccuutt--sseell ((class CCoommmmaanndd))
- This is the ``copy BUFFER to SELECTION'' button.
-
