I just tried cutting and pasting between an X11R4 xterm window and
a dxterm window (both ways) and it worked fine.  I'm running Ultrix 4.1
on a DS5000/200 PX system with twm as the window manager.  I was also
able to cut from the session manager window and paste into an xterm
window.  Granted that this is a small sample, but it does work.
