If you are using a 2-button mouse and you have "3 button" emulation turned ON in your .xserverrc file, you can simulate a third mouse button.

How?

Press both mouse buttons AT THE SAME TIME and it will behave like it is a middle mouse button.

1) Open up your /home/dsl/.xserverrc file in a text editor.  You can do this by starting emelfm and press the "H" button at the top to reveal the hidden files. All files that begin with a "." are hidden files.  Click once on the file to highlight it and then right click on the file and choose User -> View in Beaver

2) Put your cursor before the "-mouse" option in the first line and change it so it looks like this: "-2button -mouse"

3) Save your file and exit beaver.

4) Exit window manager from the main menu.

5) Type "startx" at the command prompt to restart x windows.

Ah yes, that worked.  But it only places the selected text to the command prompt, not the the clip board.  I cheated and creeated a Nano/pico file and saved it.  Is there a way to get it to the clip board?
Thanks

Not that I know of.

However, it is possible to paste it into other programs, not just the command prompt.

For example, open a Beaver document (Choose New Document) and try pasting in some highlighted text.
