Damon,

Select text while holding the left mouse button, release, then paste in the
same or new window by tapping the middle button (be sure you have the
cursor properly positioned and are in text insert mode in the target
window).  This usually works, though I have had problems doing repeated
pastes into WordPerfect 8 this way; sometimes applications support shared
copy/paste buffers. so what you copy in one application can be pasted into
another.

If you are using 3 button emulation on a two button mouse, click both right
and left buttons simultaneously to paste.

Mouse configuration can get more complicated if you have a wheel mouse.
You may want to look at http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse.html
(currently XFree86 v4.x).

BTW, you get similar cut&paste functionality in virtual (text) consoles by
using gpm.
