Try using xev to see if this is really the case. I saw this problem when I switched from R3 to R4. In R3, you could activate xterm menus by using either control-button1 or control-shift-button1, and it would do the appropriate thing. In R4, if you do control-button1, xterm highlights and selects the items as appropriate, but if you do control-shfit-button1, it just brings up the menu and does not do anything else. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
