Re cut and paste--the easy way



Perhaps I'm missing some subtlety in the question, but the easy way to cut
and paste smaller amounts of text to and from Xy is to hit alt-Enter to
produce a windows-sized screen, and use the clipboard icon that is at the
top of the Xy window (forget right-clicking on the taskbar).
You use a mouse to select (windows-style) as much as a screenfull of text,
then click on the "copy" icon and you've copied it to the windows clipboard.
Pasting to Xy is the inverse: select the text from, say, Word, copy it,
then go into Xy and hit the paste icon (which looks like a clipboard)--and
it flows right into Xy.
The only tricky thing is that you have to use the icons--can't use
control-keys to do it.
