Putty will handle cut and paste just fine (it's just probably not in the 
way you expect).  As soon as you select text in a putty window, it's 
available to the clipboard (just go to your "other" application and 
paste as you would normally).  To go the other direction, simply right 
click in your putty window and whatever was in the clipboard buffer will 
be pasted into the putty session.
