Copy Paste in no-x11 mode (emacs -nw)

[Simeon Nifos]

Dear list,
I like using emacs in nox11 mode. The Eterm terminal provides a great
font by default I really enjoy. It is smaller and I can work on more
source code than I do with the misc-fixed font of Xterm. So I usually
run emacs  with -nw. Unfortunately there is no way to copy paste
something from one emacs window to a terminal or from a terminal to
the emacs window I am editing. This is a real headache, since one of
the most foundamental stuff an editor is supposed to do, is to support
copy and paste of text from whatsoever source to the window where
editing takes place.

Is there anyway I could activate this "underestimated" feature in the
mode I am using emacs? I apologize if this email sounds aggressive but
there are some things an editor is supposed to do by default and I
cannot understand why they are turned off in emacs.

We all know that emacs and vim documentation (as well the
documentation and manpages of many other Unix apps) is not providing
what is supposed to. Too much text explaining features in an language
only the ones who already know understand without giving any .emacs
examples to help us catch up. Having that in mind is there any full
featured samples .emacs file with comments explaining what is done
here or there which enables in emacs everything that should be enabled
by default, or which provides the features which are mandatory for
editing source code and latex documents?

Best,
S.N.
