Highlight the text with mouse, of course.  Then click middle button,
or left+right where you want it pasted.  It isn't as robust as
Windows, but it works.  I sometimes have problems when i don't paste
immediately, i.e. there are other mouse clicks moving windows around
before i actually paste.  The text seems to get lost in the
shuffle.  So i try to have bot windows on top and ready.  Also, it
seems to me that you need to use an editor, not a view.  Selecting
text in a viewer (like the one in migdnight commander) doesn't
work.  I think it needs an editor.
