You have to use the "-clipboard" parameter... and it is a little buggy 
and your selected text will be immediately unselected.  (Don't comment 
on the unselection thing unless you are an amazing programmer and you 
have a fix in hand; in other words, it is more difficult to fix than you 
could possibly imagine.)
