Usually it works as follows. At least that's how it works at my
system:
Select text with your left mouse button. Press the right mouse button
to paste it on the command line or Emacs or wherever your are. In the
X environment pasting can usually be done my clicking left and right
simultaneously.
I'll demonstrate by selecting and pasting some text from the gpm
manual... :)
To select text press the left mouse button and drag the mouse. To
paste text in the same or another console, press the middle button.
The right button is used to extend the selection, like in `xterm'.
Two-button mice use the right button to paste text.
