The traditional X controls are to highlight using the left mouse button. Then paste using the middle mouse button. Shift-Insert is also available as a paste control. Unfortunately (for me anyway) the Microsoft C-c, C-x, C-v controls are permeating and the traditional methods are becoming broken. Therefore your experience may be different depending upon configuration. Bob
