I am successfully running the mouse daemon (the mouse is moving on the
screen, and I can select text with it).

I am not running X, I am simply in console mode.  Question:

How do I paste ?

I tried both buttons at the same time, and I tried shift-insert.  No dice.

I read in a news posting that console mode mouse will only paste with the
middle mouse button, but I don't have a middle mouse button because I am
using a _normal PC just like everybody else_.

So how do I paste in console mode with a two-button mouse ?

thanks!
