Can't paste in x11 version 2.6.1

[Donglian Xu]

Hi, Jeremy,

  I hope that I can do the following with X11:

  1) copy and paste using keyboard combinations within the X11 terminal
windows. Now with X11 version 2.6.1 on Macbook leopard 10.5.8, I can only
copy the text in the terminal via cmd + c. How can I paste the text into the
X11 terminal using the keyboard combination (I know it might not be cmd +v
because X11 is not native apple app)?

  2) Emacs doesn't seem to work in X11 as on linux machines. For instance,
the control + <space>, control + w and control + y in emacs on linux are
mark, cut and yanking respectively. Those combinations don't seem to work on
X11 the same way.

Thanks for your precious time!

Best regards,
Donglian

What language is thine, O sea?
The language of eternal question.
What language is thine, O sky?
The language of eternal silence.
