Actually, the gnome terminal already supports cut/paste operations.  I
just did it the other day.  Now I know that true windows might not
have actual text that can be copied out as we would normally expect.
In reMS windows, windows dialogs are mostly pictures; I mean screen
printing is always a bit map image.  But if text is available from a
dialog such as in text or edit boxes, they can be copied out and I
know for a fact, you can just paste right back into a terminal
window.  I did it the other day while editing a file in emacs under a
terminal.
