  I would like to be able to redefine the actions caused by mouse button
push events.  I have been successful at changing definitions for all cases
except for unmodified mouse button clicks, i.e. non (shift|cntrl|meta)
situations.  Under the twm we have, these default to the mark, paste and 
markend actions for the L,M,R buttons (and are not explicitly defined in
the .twmrc file).  I would like to redefine these.  Is this possible?
  I have remapped some of them; however, twm tends to crash when these are
redefined.  Also I don't know the name of the function that pastes your cut
buffer back into your current screen (i.e. what button 2 normally does).  E.g.
if I want Cntrl-but2 to do it instead, how do I do so?

Notes: I am using twm version 3.1 on a Stellar, and the definitions are
accomplished via .twmrc file.

Thanks, Brad Hemminger
