Michael, I am not sure I understand.
Does this mean that to copy the text sitting on an xterm in my linux guest, I have to highlight the text and figure out how to use a ctrl+c to copy to the clipboard? Or is this just not possible? Typically I need to copy text from the xterm in the linux guest and paste into the windows XP host application, say a word document. My current approach is. On the guest, copy to a file and put the file on a shared folder. Go to the host and read the file.
