Running Xwin in passive mode

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.
