At the risk of stating the obvious... if you don't want to paste to the command line, paste to something else. :-) For example, copy the entire scrollback buffer in window 1 (hint, vi-like movement commands work like G and gg) run cat in window 2, paste, ctrl-c to terminate cat. Now window 2 has those contents in its scrollback buffer.
If the terminal supports it (xterm and PuTTY do), one can also use the scrollback buffer of the terminal instead of the Screen one. [1] describes how this can be configured and also explains the technical background. With described terminal capabilities tweak enabled, line output from all windows accumulates in one single scrollback buffer (the one of the terminal) which could be scrolled through using Shift-PageUp/Down or the mousewheel. Personally, I would not want this behavior for the stuff I do because I find it confusing, but I don't know your scenario. Regards, Tilman [1] GNU Screen FAQ.
