Well, you should be able to highlight with the left mouse button and
paste where you want with the middle mouse button, just like x has always
worked.  Sun's openwindows uses different mouse buttons.
	It could be something is not right in your Xaccel config file.  I
belve you can control these buttons in something like twmrc.

both buttons at the same time on a 2 button mouse equal the middle button.
