I've read thru the documentation on this (I think) and haven't seen anywhere
how to delete/cut a selection from an xedit window.  The users here of Suntools
who loathe vi are reluctant to use X when it doesn't have an editor they feel
comfortable with.  Is there a way to do this, or is there a contributed editor
somewhere which does?

For that matter, does twm or X support this anywhere?
