I have just received X for the masscomp and have encountered
2 apparent BUGS.

One is that the copy and paste does not
seem to work properly between 2 different windows (separate
processes).

The second is that after compiling a XGCL program
that does not load its own colormap, and then running it, entering
the window generated by that program causes the screen to go dark
as if a mask were applied across the entire screen (it looks as though
a masked colormap is being used). Could this possibly have something to
do with xterm highlighting?

Thanks for your insights,
