Tim do you mind posting how you do the other way round. I mean copy outside emacs. Paste inside emacs. I keep getting really goofed up when I try that. Seems to take several attempts before the paste will happen. I probably have something set wrong somewhere. But it seems like the last copy/kill in emacs is what keeps sticking to clipboard or kill ring or somewhere I don't want it. So that when I press middle mouse or C-y to paste into emacs... I get something from an earlier operation. I'd like to do this: 1. Mouse or keyboard (or C-a) select a region or `all' (say in firefox) 2. Middle mouse or C-y to paste that region into emacs. done
