Both VAX and RT platforms, versions 6.0R and 6.1A.  Using R2 servers
on both:

R2 & R3:

The xedit program allows pasting from the cut buffer when the buffer
is a file from a read-only file system.  It probably shouldn't; it'd
be nice if it had the idea of a read-only flag (which the user could
toggle).

A wider window for the filename is a must.

R3 only:

Looks like reverseVideo is handled now.  Almost.  On the RT, text in
the text window (including a space at the end of each line) comes up
black-text-on-white-background, and the rest of the window is
black-background.  On the VAX, the text is black-on-black.  I'll try
an R3 server and see what happens.
