No, only to where the cursor is as I indicated in my earlier post. If you want the selection to be written to another file then you need to do something like this:

:%w newfile.txt

XmTextPaste(library call)												 XmTextPaste(library call)

NAME
XmTextPaste -- A Text function that inserts the clipboard selection SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h> Boolean XmTextPaste( Widget widget); DESCRIPTION
XmTextPaste inserts the clipboard selection at the insertion cursor of the destination widget. If XmNpendingDelete is True and the inser- tion cursor is inside the current selection, the clipboard selection replaces the selected text. This routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks, either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCall- backWcs, or both. If both verification callback lists are registered, the procedures of the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list are executed first and the resulting data is passed to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks. If the XmNcursorPosition resource is greater than or is the same value as the position where the selection is to be inserted, the XmNmotionVerifyCallback is called. This routine calls the widget's XmNdestinationCallback procedures with the selection member of the XmDestinationCallbackStruct set to CLIP- BOARD and with the operation member set to XmCOPY. widget Specifies the Text widget ID. For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3). RETURN
This function returns False if no transfers take place. Otherwise, it returns True. RELATED
