Gene, come on. You know how to select and paste out of an xterm. It does not matter what that xterm is doing, whether it is displaying a file of locally stored bible notes, running the Debian installer or running minicom into the serial port of a nuclear power station's control panel. It displays text. You select the text with a mouse and paste that into a another document. Why is getting you to paste textual data from one terminal window into another (or a text editor or email or whatever) so monumentally difficult?
