Any recommendations for a good term program that will let me copy from it and paste it into other apps? (OpenOffice, Mozilla, etc)

I'm using Gnome.

Thanks

Try swiping the text holding down the left mouse button, then middle clicking where you want to paste.

This is the normal Linux copy/paste technique and it works in console (if gpm is running) or x.

Aah, there's where I was confused, I was trying to use the right button then select paste, not the middle button.

Thanks, anyway to change it so it uses the right button? My middle button is kind of a pain to use...

You could configure it to emulate a 3 button mouse and use the left and right buttons simultaneously to emulate the third button.
