The problem is that Epoch uses cut buffers, and xterms like
selections. Here is something that can make things work a little
better.
-------
Here is a nice little hack to make life easier to cut & paste between
epoch and xterms or other Toolkit-based applications. Just before cutting
text into the cut buffer, clear the current selection, so that when you paste
in  a xterm afterwards, you will really paste the epoch text, no an old
selection hiding somewhere...

Here is the patch to src/x11fns.c:
avahi$ diff -c x11fns.c.orig x11fns.c
*** x11fns.c.orig       Wed Jul 18 11:06:01 1990
- --- x11fns.c    Wed Jul 18 11:09:35 1990
