You're using the selection method of the terminal emulator program, not
Emacs. Either use the keyboard to select --- which will select in
Emacs, or use the style from the terminal program. For example, in
xterm (the one and only), use Mouse-1 to mark and Mouse-3 to select,
Mouse-2 to paste. In other words, click where you want your selection
to start, scroll to where you want it to end, and click Mouse-3.
Of course, this won't work in Emacs in a terminal emulator. Is there a
reason you're not using the X interface? Because you're ssh'ing in to a
remote server?
Check out Multi-TTY, available in CVS Emacs.
