I am not sure I agree with this assertion. In 1.4.x and earlier I was able to select a text in an rxvt (no X11) or xterm (with X11) terminal on Windows and paste it in LyX by middle mouse button. In a cmd.exe window I could select a text, press right mouse button to copy it to the clipboard and still paste it in LyX by middle mouse button. All of this is not possible anymore in 1.5 and I see it as a regression. -- Enrico
