Gene, come on. You know how to select and paste out of an xterm. It
does not matter what that xterm is doing, whether it is displaying a
file of locally stored bible notes, running the Debian installer or
running minicom into the serial port of a nuclear power station's
control panel. It displays text. You select the text with a mouse
and paste that into a another document.
Why is getting you to paste textual data from one terminal window
into another (or a text editor or email or whatever) so
monumentally difficult?

Andy
