10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal

Just a short tip, maybe some you have already figured this out by accident, I know I did. X11-type cut and paste now works in the terminal. On a three-button mouse, right click to mark text, then middle-click to paste. No need to do command-c and command-v to cut and paste (it still works though).

[robg adds: With my re-programmed mouse, I can't seem to force it back to default mode for Terminal, so I can't test this one ... so if someone could confirm this, please post your experiences in the coomments.]
