Aterm cut-and-paste was Re: Rid of those Windows Desktops!

I was searching for a way to cut-and-paste but couldn't find any
documentation on how to do it with Aterm. I think I got frustrated and
just started clicking and when I hit the scroll button it worked!! The
only changes I've made are /etc/X11/xorg.conf changes to get my Z-axis
button working:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I can't tell you if it's only a 5.3 or an Xorg thing or something else
but I have used it on two different machines running 5.3-BETA6 or newer.
I don't have an older version of FreeBSD running so I can't try it
anywhere else, I would be interested to know though.

Cool, how did you get it to work? Is it only available with 5.3?
