You can copy and paste from any terminal or other application in X by highlighting text with the mouse, and then clicking with the wheel to paste.I was searching for a way to cut-and-paste but couldn't find any documentation on how to do it with Aterm. I think I got frustrated and just started clicking and when I hit the scroll button it worked!! The only changes I've made are /etc/X11/xorg.conf changes to get my Z-axis button working:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
I can't tell you if it's only a 5.3 or an Xorg thing or something else but I have used it on two different machines running 5.3-BETA6 or newer. I don't have an older version of FreeBSD running so I can't try it anywhere else, I would be interested to know though.

You can also copy and paste the Microsoft way, with Control-C/Control-V.
One thing to keep in mind is that anything that you actually copy by Edit -> copy, Control-C, right click -> copy, etc will overwrite anything you simply highlight. It's like having two separate clipboards. One from actually copying, one from highlighting.
