Hello there,

I have a couple of questions regarding emacs that I haven't been able to get an answer to anywhere else, so here goes:

1: When I copy some text in emacs, I can't use (paste) this text outside emacs. It works the other way around; I have no problem pasting text into emacs that has been copied from some external program (mozilla for example).
Any way to fix this?

2: Is it possible to make emacs wordwrap correctly?
By correctly, I mean that emacs should not split up a word, but instead move the word to the next line if the word can not fit on the current line (like most other editors do).
I have tried the "auto-fill-mode" command, but that seems to hardcode the linebreaks instead of "softwrapping" the text.

3: Another question regarding wordwrapping:
If a long line of text is wrapped to, say, 3 lines, emacs will move the cursor 3 lines up/down when navigating over this line using the keyboard. Is it possible to make emacs move the cursor one "virtual line" up/down instead?

I am using GNU Emacs 21.3.1 if that is of any interest.

Thanks for your help!
