any accessible way to get text from one app to another?

Hi.  I was wondering if there was any way to select text from one app
and get it to another outside of x.  I have gpm started, but I am not
sure there is a way I could use such a thing.  One or more of these
apps may be emacs, but this is not always the case.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
