Thanks for the help your suggestions did the job.
This raised two unrelated questions.
Where can I find a current list of command line options for Xwin? I've seen
and used -ac, -multiwindow, and -clipboard but they aren't documented in the
online reference or the supplied man page.
I also could not find any help on how to use xwinclip. I was looking for
help on what the keyboard and mouse sequences are to cut and paste between a
X-term and Notepad. Control-C and Control-V don't mean the same think
within a x-term/dtterm. The documentation I found only talks about how to
start xwinclip.
