Is there anyway to change the way a double delimits words in x-

Changing double click word selection
Hi all,
Is there anyway to change the way a double delimits words in x-
windows.
For example I want to highlight:
>input = xmlDefaultExternalEntityLoader((const char *) resource, ID, ctxt);
^ I want to highlight this ^
^ x windows highlights this ^
The double click only seems to use a space as a word delimited where I
would like to add brackets slashes dots colons. Basically what would
be word seperators in code.
TIA
Adrian

This isn't controlled at the level of X.
Try searching the XTerm man page for character class.
