I have vim-lite 3.6.86 and use vim inside a terminal window in fvwm. I 
also have firefox which will let
me highlight text and copy it with the right mouse button. I'd like to 
be able to paste such text into vim but
I can't get it to work.

I've tried "*P , "+P  but neither work. Can someone tell me how to make 
this work?

thanks,
Bob
