Okay, I can now say I really don't like using the middle wheel. It
requires me to take my hands off the keyboard twice. I'd really like
to be able to highlight the the mouse, and paste with a keyboard
combination.

Anyway, I also now realize it doesn't work with screen -- I can't copy
in one window and paste to another. The buffer must somehow get
deleted, or perhaps there's a buffer for each screen window?

Thanks again,
Alex
