- My experience with Frame and X-Windows has been that one can use the
- standard X buffers, but that this does not keep any of the special
- formatting (font, bolding, tags, etc..). This is because the buffer
- used by X-Windows is a text-only buffer. Are you using a Sunview-style
- copy and paste, or an X-Windows style copy and paste?
