The cut and paste is generally make in X with the 3rd mouse button (the 
middle one).
Selecting text with the left button, then press the middle button in other 
applications make a paste.

If your mouse has not 3 buttons try to press both of them togheter to act 
like the 3rd button.
Btw it depends on how your X server is configured...

Hope it helps...

P.s.
The cut and paste works also in the console if the "moused"  daemon is 
properly started...
