Xwinclip documentation - it WORKS

Alright - setting

start XWin -rootless -notrayicon -emulate3buttons -clipboard

i.e. using clipboard and emulate3buttons works with a copy both directions.
Using xwinclip instead of clipboard gives an endless stream of messages if I
open two window instances. The paste into Xwindow required the 3 button
emulation.

A note - even like the one you sent me above in the FAQ sure would be
helpful for newbies like me.

Thanks - loads!
