M-x find-function RET

Does this help?

I can copy out of Terminal or TextEdit and then paste into an xterm
under X Windows.  So I cat to a file ~/blah, paste into that, and then
insert that file into an emacs buffer.  (Or, if it is only one line
long, I paste it into an xterm, cut something in emacs, copy from the
xterm, and paste into emacs.  I'm not sure why I have to cut something
first in emacs.)

Annoying, but it works.

--ZPt4rx8FFjLCG7dd

I am using Mutt for e-mail with emacs for editing and composing. Today, I run a 
separate instance of emacs everytime I compose or edit. I have tried 
emacsclient but have one issue - when using emacsclient, the focus doesn't 
change so I need to alt-tab in the window manager to the emacs window.  

I have been playing around with raise-frame to bring the emacs window to the 
front and that works fine but it doesn't change the focus.  The focus is still 
on the Mutt window.  Is there any way to raise the frame and have emacs grab 
the focus?  

Thanks for the help.
