copy & paste in X windows.

[agaskell at west.bidmc.harvard.edu]

     Could someone please advise:
     
                I am running RHL 4.2 on an i486. I am using fvwm2 as window 
     manager in XFree. However I find that I am unable to cut and paste 
     text between X-Term windows (or seemingly any windows). 
        Do I need to set up my mouse to do this in some config file? gpm 
     starts normally on booting so this is not the problem. I can highlight 
     the text with the mouse, but seem unable to copy and paste it. I also 
     have tried with and without 3 button emulation on my 2 button ps/2 
     mouse. 
        Thanks for any help.
