Thanks. That did the trick.

Alan,
Assuming you're using Cygwin in a so-called "console" Window, which is
the default (the alternative being RXVT), you probably want to enable
"QuickEdit" mode. Access the window properties dialog (click on the
small Cygwin icon at the left of the window frame) and select
"Properties." In that dialog, activate the "Options" tab and active
the "QuickEdit Mode" check-box on the bottom right.
When (if) you confirm this dialog, you'll be asked whether you want
this change applied to the "... current window only", or to the "...
shortcut that started this window." If you did not start that shell
via a shortcut, then the long-term choice will be "... for future
windows with same title." Assuming you don't want to go through this
ritual each time you open a new Cygwin window, choose the appropriate
long-term option.
Now you'll be able to use the mouse to select text blocks and use the
right button to copy those selections to the Windows clipboard.

I have recently installed cygwin into a M$ Windows 2000 desktop.
I do not seem to be able to cut and paste from other windows into
the cygwin bash shell window, nor can I highlight text in the cygwin
window. Is this a feature? or is it a misconfiguration on my part?
