(NOTE - I am not an IDIOT) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 14:00:34 -0000 couldn't see if you got an answer to this but I just found out that you can do it (in fedora/xfce anyway) You select text you want to copy in xterm, move focus to where you want to paste it and then press mouse button 5 on my logitech mouse, so just press all mouse buttons on your mouse, one will probably/possibly (at a guess) paste text.
