view lisp/env.el @ 1817:5c2bdeb13f68

x-selection-value has been renamed to x-selection. x-own-selection has been renamed to x-set-selection, and the order of its arguments has been reversed, for consistency with other lisp functions like put and aset. * term/x-win.el (x-select-text): Adjusted. (x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value): Check the primary selection, using x-selection, instead of checking the cut buffer again. * term/x-win.el: Doc fix.
