It seems Acquamacs will do it, so I'd assume it's a > matter of configuring .emacs? I find the easiest way to do this in emacs is NOT to make the command key into meta. That way I still have the Cmd-C, Cmd-X and Cmd-V keys that work the same inside and outside Aquamacs. If I do this, I can simply use Cmd-C in, e.g., firefox, then go to aquamacs and do Cmd-V, just like any other pair of mac applications. I find having clear access to BOTH the emacs and mac cut buffers much less confusing than trying to make them stick together. (I don't like smooshing the X and emacs cut buffers together on linux, either). This is very much a minority opinion, but you could try it, and see if it works for you. If you want to try it, you can use the Aquamacs menu Options > Option, Command, Meta keys > Option is meta If you make heavy use of accents in your emacs, this is a losing choice, though. I don't, because any serious text I compose will be in latex, anyway. Cheers, r
