   Thanks!  I should have phrased it more carefully: I would like to   
   automatically synchronize the X11 primary and clipboard.  Your b2p   
   and p2b aliases do what i want, except manually.  This can also be   
   manually accomplished using xclip.   
      
   b2p='xclip -selection clipboard -out | xclip -selection primary -in'   
   p2b='xclip -selection primary -out | xclip -selection clipboard -in'   
      
   I had hoped that the autocutsel package would automate this process,   
   but it did not work as i expected.
