SELECTION may be `primary', `secondary', or `clipboard'.\n\
\n\
Selections are a mechanism for cutting and pasting information between\n\
X Windows clients.  Emacs's kill ring commands set the `primary'\n\
selection to the top string of the kill ring, making it available to\n\
other clients, like xterm.  Those commands also use the `primary'\n\
selection to retrieve information from other clients.\n\
\n\
According to the Inter-Client Communications Conventions Manual:\n\
\n\
The `primary' selection \"... is used for all commands that take only a\n\
   single argument and is the principal means of communication between\n\
   clients that use the selection mechanism.\"  In Emacs, this means\n\
   that the kill ring commands set the primary selection to the text\n\
   put in the kill ring.\n\
\n\
The `secondary' selection \"... is used as the second argument to\n\
   commands taking two arguments (for example, `exchange primary and\n\
   secondary selections'), and as a means of obtaining data when there\n\
   is a primary selection and the user does not want to disturb it.\"\n\
   I am not sure how Emacs should use the secondary selection; if you\n\
   come up with ideas, this function will at least let you get at it.\n\
\n\
The `clipboard' selection \"... is used to hold data that is being\n\
   transferred between clients, that is, data that usually is being\n\
   cut or copied, and then pasted.\"  It seems that the `clipboard'\n\
   selection is for the most part equivalent to the `primary'\n\
   selection, so Emacs sets them both.\n\
\n\
