+Clicking and releasing any button without the shift key depressed while
+the pointer remains inside a WindowGram window will cause it to
+disappear. If the pointer leaves the window
+while the button is depressed, the window does not disappear; this
+provides a way to avoid accidentally losing messages.
+.PP
+Portions of the text of a message may be selected for "pasting" into other X
+applications by using the shift key in cooperation with the pointer
+buttons.
+Holding the Shift key while depressing Button1 (usually the left button)
+will set a marker at the
+text under the pointer. Dragging the pointer with Shift-Button1 still
+depressed extends the selection from the start point, until the button
+is released. The end of the selection may also be
+indicated by releasing Button1, holding down the Shift key, and pressing
+Button3 (usually the right button) at the desired endpoint of the selection.
+The selection will appear with the text and background colors reversed.
