(DECwindows?  Yuck.  Get Motif or TWM.)

DECwindows is X.  GNU Emacs works fine under DECwindows, Motif,
OpenLook, TWM, you name it.  Mouse cut/paste/position is no problem.
There's even a version of GNU Emacs called Epoch that's especially
suited for X, using multiple windows and providing easy selection of
fonts, colors, and cursors.
