Syl,

X apps aren't as standard as Windows apps when it comes to 
cut/copy/paste.  You can almost always bet that clicking the middle 
mouse button in an X app will paste text.  Other than that, for Emacs 
you have Ctrl+Y, for Mozilla you have Ctrl+C, for KDE you have ???, for 
Gnome you have ???, get the point?  You are going to have to figure out 
how to cut and paste *within* X before you can expect to cut and paste 
between X and Windows.
