How does one cut and paste between X windows?  I can highlight text
with the left mouse button but can't figure out how to get it into
the paste buffer and how to paste it in another window.  Where's the
documentation on how to do this?  I'm just running X and twm and
a few xterm windows.  I have a 2 button PS2 mouse.
