Subject: Re: How do I paste at new point with middle click?

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyAndPaste

Can't get it to work. What I really want is all paste-able text to be
in the x-clipboard
so that it is accessible from other applications and it gets pasted in
emacs whether
I use Ctl-Y or middle-mouse-button. How that happens, I don't care. I
do *NOT* want
to have to think about "how do I get these characters into the
paste-able buffer?"
Am I going to paste with middle mouse in an Xterm? With middle mouse in emacs?
with Ctl-Y in emacs? With Ctl-V in some other app? I DO NOT KNOW AND I DO NOT
WANT TO CARE, either. that "wiki" page is too obtuse for me to figure
how to do it.
I'm a newbie. I've only been using emacs since 1984.
