Is it possible to use the mouse to cut/paste in the minibuffer ?  

I often want to use the mouse to select some text to be used in a
minibuffer command, (long filespecs. etc.) but I am not able to paste
the text into the minibuffer.  I now I can use registers to achieve
something similar, but I would like to do it directly.

I am using epoch 3.2 on a Sparc SunOS 4.1.1.  

Any hints ?
