Just one for the archives.

I often want to highlight something in an xterm and paste it into word97 running under wine. (Or 
something in Win4Lin)
I used to do this via a terribly convoluted method of creating/saving/opening temporary files. Just 
on a thought I opened up xclipboard and middle click pasted the text in the from the xterm and then 
just selected paste in word.

Magic!
