Well, in case someone's seen it before and you helped... Then again, you'd 
nail me for not searching the archives !! :) Or not R'ing TFM.

Yes, this confused me initially. I've gotten stuck in the "old-style" 
copy/paste habit. Hell, I catch myself doing it in Windows all the time and 
get annoyed that it doesn't work. When in X-Windows, I use the mouse only. 
When in MS Windows, I use Crtl-C/X and Crtl-V (or the Edit menu, Paste 
function).

I'll still copy something from an Eterm, middle-click into a KDE app and 
nothing... Then I try mouse-right-click Paste hoping it's there, but 
instead it's something I must have mouse-right-click Copied earlier.

Stupid question: Eterm doesn't have an "Edit, Cut/Copy" in it's button-bar 
menu, does it ?? I don't use it (disable it actually).
