  Parameters

     array                An array passing information about a global

                          is not of a data type supported by TPU.  For
                          example, the array could pass information about a
                          pixmap, an icon, or a span.  For more information
                          about the contents of the returned array, see the
                          documentation for DECwindows TPU.

     buffer               The buffer containing the information to be sent
                          to the requesting application as the response to
                          the global selection information request.  TPU
                          sends the information in string format.

     range                The range containing the information to be sent to
                          the requesting application as the response to the
                          global selection information request.  TPU
                          sends the information in string format.

     string               The string containing the information to be sent
                          to the requesting application as the response to
                          the global selection information request.  TPU
                          sends the information in string format.

     integer              An integer whose value is to be sent to the
                          requesting as the response to the global selection
                          information request.  TPU sends the information
                          in integer format.

     NONE                 A keyword indicating that no information about the
                          global selection is available.

  Comments

     WRITE_GLOBAL_SELECT is valid only inside a routine that responds to
     requests for information about a global selection.  Call
     WRITE_GLOBAL_SELECT no more than once during the execution of a global
     selection read routine.

  Example

     The following statement sends the contents of the range "this_range" to
     the requesting application.

     WRITE_GLOBAL_SELECT (this_range);
