1) Highlight the text you want to copy by holding down the left mouse button and dragging, just like in Windows. This copies it to the Windows clipboard.

2) Go to your Windows window and paste it from the clipboard as usual.

By the way, to paste it into the Unix window, put your cursor where you want it to go, then click the middle mouse button.

Magic!

DwtInquireNextPasteCount(3Dwt)											    DwtInquireNextPasteCount(3Dwt)

Name
       DwtInquireNextPasteCount - Returns the number of data item formats available for the next paste item in the clipboard.

Syntax
       int DwtInquireNextPasteCount(display, window, count,
				     max_format_name_length)
	    Display *display;
	    Window window;
	    int *count;
	    int *max_format_name_length;

Arguments
       display	 Specifies  a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay.  For information on XOpenDis-
		 play and the Display structure, see the Guide to the Xlib Library: C Language Binding.

       window	 Specifies the window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard.	The same application instance should pass the same
		 window ID to each clipboard function that it calls.

       count	 Returns  the  number  of data item formats available for the next-paste item in the clipboard.  If no formats are available, this
		 argument equals zero.	The count includes the formats that were passed by name.

       max_format_name_length
		 Specifies the maximum length of all format names for the next-paste item in the clipboard.

Description
       The DwtInquireNextPasteCount function returns the number of data item formats available for the next-paste item	in  the  clipboard.   This
       function also returns the maximum name length for all formats in which the next-paste item is stored.

Return Values
       This function returns one of these status return constants:

       ClipboardSuccess   The  function is success-
			  ful.
       ClipboardLocked	  The	 function    failed
			  because the clipboard was
			  locked by another  appli-
			  cation.   The application
			  can continue to call	the
			  function  with  the  same
			  parameters   until	the
			  clipboard   is  unlocked.
			  Optionally, the  applica-
			  tion	can ask if the user
			  wants to keep  trying  or
			  to  give up on the opera-
			  tion.
       ClipboardNoData	  Information could not  be
			  obtained from an applica-
			  tion	using	the   ICCCM
			  clipboard selection mech-
			  anism.  This return value
			  indicates  that  the data
			  was not available in	the
			  requested format.
