[RP] Re: copy text from terminal window

[Joe Corneli]

   Try running your shell in 'screen'.  It allows you to copy from your
   scrollback buffer.

Getting good copying back and forth between screen and the rest of
the world seems to be an outstanding issue, though there have been
some suggestions put forth about how it might be done.
