not lame at all.

i suspect you have the "xterm-mouse" mode set.
if "xterm-mouse" is off (which is how i use vile), then vile
should behave exactly like the xterm in which it's running, with
regard to the mouse.
if "xterm-mouse" is on, then i'll quote from vile's help:
xterm-mouse Enables mouse-clicking if you are running within an
xterm. That is, it allows vile to receive mouse events.
Since this mode overrides xterm's cut & paste, you will
need to use the Shift key when pressing the mouse buttons
to cut and paste between X windows. Your TERM variable's
termcap entry should contain the string "xterm" for this to
work. (U)
summary: try turning off xterm-mouse, or use shift when cutting/pasting.
or, maybe something entirely different is going on, in which case
we'll both be glad that tom is not only the vile maintainer, but also
the xterm maintainer. :-)
OK, excellent. Thanks for the response. However, how
do I turn it off? I've tried "set xterm-mouse=off" in my .vilerc, but
that doesn't seem to do it. There doesn't seem to be any indication in
the help to describe how to enable/disable this feature.
Thanks again for he help,
Mike
