Copy Paste to Windows

[Harold L Hunt II]

You copy text to the clipboard in Win32 with Ctrl+C.  You then paste 
that in X11 with either a middle mouse button click or via a menu in the 
current application (if it has a Paste menu item).

You copy text in X11 by highlighting it and, optionally, clicking the 
Copy button in a menu (if the application has a Copy menu item).  Leave 
the text highlighted just to be sure.  To paste that text in Win32, 
press Ctrl+V.

Try this first with Notepad and an xterm.

If you still do not succeed, send in /tmp/XWin.log from a failed attempt.
