[R-SIG-Mac] Copy & Paste from tktext on a Mac

[Anne Skoeries]

Hi Simon,

thanks, I finally got it.
I was doing the exact same thing like you did, but it just didn't work.
Your e-mail brought me to the idea to update my X11. I was still  
working under version 2.1.6 and copy&paste in a tktext-window didn't  
work with this version. Updating to the latest release (X11 2.4.0) and  
selecting the checkbox "activate clipboard" under settings was the  
right way to make it work!

Thanks so much, Anne
