I'm an X dummy, so pardon me if I'm totally wrong about this or if it
has nothing to do with FVWM.
On all X systems I've seen so far, you can use the mouse to copy and
paste text between windows (shells, netscape, mail, ...). What I'd
like to know is whether it would be possible to get hold of the
contents of that buffer (managed by the window manager???) from within
a shell or perl script so I can feed it as an argument to various
programs.
TIA,
-Ives
