Middle-click only works on a 3-button mouse in gpm... I don't think it
does chording.  You can tell it whether you have a 2 or 3 button
mouse... check the docs for details.  (I don't have gpm installed
right now.)  If you tell it you have a 2-button mouse, iirc the right
button will paste.

Paste into a file and cat it in the other one?
