Let me re-iterate what I'm trying to do... - In X, highlight a text string (e.g. a URL) in Firefox - hit {CTRL}{ALT}{F1}, taking me to a *REAL TEXT CONSOLE* running mutt or slrn, with vim as the editor - paste the complex URL directly into a message I'm composing with vim
I don't think that will work - I think there's no communication between X and text consoles. What vim-with-x would allow you to do is paste into a vim session running in an xterm, not one running on the console.
