After fruitlessly searching for commands to yank to clipboard (instead of buffer), I discovered ":set nonumber" which removes line numbers so that I can highlight  (which copies to clipboard) and paste without having to edit out all the numbers.  ":set number" restores the line numbers.  Perhaps there's a command I don't know which sends yanked lines to clipboard without  highlighting?

In vim's buffer? You can use "y" in command mode.

That doesn't copy to the clipboard (i.e., for pasting into another editor, browser, etc.)

Well the clipboard is an X function, so a console app can't interface with it at all..

Not really clear on what you want...
Is this just for X where you don't want to use the mouse? or is this from tty to tty? or tty to X?  Do you not want to highlight at all (either with a mouse or keyboard) but yank by lines? or the whole contents of a file?

There are some easier ways, depending on how your current setup is. In any case, you may be interested in screen and xsel, among others.
