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

I think this is offtopic.

You can mark the text with the left mouse button, go into a terminal, do a
cat > tempfile, then paste the text into the terminal with the right mouse
button, then change into the vt, cat tempfile and so on. One should be
able to keep the same copy-buffer between vt & X but I haven't found out
yet. This could be a FAQ though. Maybe have a look on DejaNews.
