                Well, I see that I've got to update my ctwm.
                The ~/.ctwmrc I'm still using has
                "Button1=
                 Button2=
                 Button3="

                and the like.

                Are there any sites with sample ctmrc files?
                or are a few wrapped into the distribution tarball?

                Thanks for this sample. I'm going to experiment
                with a few of these to see if they are useful for
                me.

                My limitation is that I have the use of only my
                left hand, so that the travel time away from the
                central keys is costly. Any shift-mousebutton
                combination is difficult. If my fingers are on
                the keyboard I like to keep them there!

                This is why, if I'm mousing around with netscape
                and I happen to autoraise a window over it, it
                takes that much more time to hit F3 to raise-or-lower
                the window|xterm.
