GPM Dummy Question

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Hi All,

Read all the latest on list concerning using gpm to copy between ttys and Xwindows(KDE) and still having probs.  Even tried the "secrets" thing and was able to copy test from X(konsole) to tty but not the reverse way.  Would be better for me if the reverse way worked.  Back in my early Debian days, circa 1997, I was mildly scolded for not knowing how to copy test from a tty to an Xwindow konsole or into an email reply to the user list.  Well, I still don't.  Seem there was talk about "data repeater" and "raw" but never could get it to work.  Still can't.  There must be a way with gpm as the debian user list people were doing so as the led me to beliene.  Have read the man gpm a couple of times and maybe I just don't understand and no luck.
Used the gpm -Rraw comand with no luck.  Googled no luck-lots of hits-but nothing specific that I found.
So, what I want to know is:
Is it even possible to copy from a tty to an Xconsole(konsole in KDE) or to an email composition.
If it's possible then please give me a hand holding step by step or at lease a good detailed howto uri that I can read and follow.
Actually any help would be most appreciated.  This issue has just bugged me for years.
TIA,
