	At my work we use Gnu Emacs running on Sun workstations 
(3/50's and 3/60's).  Emacstool provides an excellent mouse 
interface to Gnu Emacs.

	The problem is the normal "put" and "get" commands used
to cut and paste between windows, does not work between an emacstool 
window and any other Sun windows (suntools or cmdtools).  Emacstool's
sun-get-selection and sun-select-region commands work as described,
but are not able to access the sunwindow shelf.  

	I will try and implement cutting and pasting between an emacstool
window and another Sun window myself.  The suntools command get_selection,
retrieves the current sunwindow selection and seems like a good place to
get started.

	But before I waste any time, has anyone found a way to cut and
paste between an emacstool window and another Sun window?  I think this
would add a great deal of functionality to the suntools environment.


	Post answers or mail directly to me -- uunet!fed!m1tag00

	Thanx.
