- Look at x-mouse.el in your emacs lisp directory and you should be able
- to figure it out. Basically, you click the left button to set the
- point and click the middle button to insert stuff. Clicking the right
- button copies from the point to wherever you click. Holding down
- control while you click the middle button cuts everything between the
- point and where you click.

-
- Sure. If the environmental variable DISPLAY is set, then emacs will
- run in X mode unless you use the -nw flag. In all other cases, it
- runs in normal, non-X mode.
