Andrzej Szydlo:
 |Is it possible to allow cut & paste capability on a character terminal
 |(console) using mouse? I mean something like the gpm utility
 |for Linux which enables mouse cursor with such feature.

    2.2 and 3.0-current have this feature, and it works well for me.
Probably the safest way to get this functionality right now is to install
2.2-ALPHA, or wait for 2.2-RELEASE.  I'm running 2.2-ALPHA and would
recommend it.
