In X11 copying and pasting are usually mouse driven events. If you want 
to copy and paste without mouse just bind the functions to some key 
events. In xterm you can specify extra bindings too in .Xdefaults using 
the sources or targets PRIMARY, SECONDARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0 
through CUT_BUFFER7. Look at 'man xterm', insert-selection(), 
select_start(), etc.
