This has been a very long thread and I may have forgotten now, but I
think the original poster had problems only with copy/paste in `emacs
-nw`.
Hence, emacs22-nox which may be optimised for terminal copy/paste.
Like most of us here I use graphical Emacs though.
In any case, I've been doing some reading tonight and found this
interesting link:
http://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/emacs-copypaste-and-x/
Which leads to this:
http://hugoheden.wordpress.com/2009/03/08/copypaste-with-emacs-in-terminal/
The provided code makes use of xsel to set the X selection for
terminal based Emacs.
And, this seems to have been covered here before as the code in the
last article has a credit "to Nikolaj Schumacher and Miles Bader on
the help-gnu-emacs mailing list".
Cheers,
Jonathan
