Just to clarify for Alex's benefit, these are all operations _within_ 
vi (vim, nvi, whatever).  To the best of my understanding, Alex was
inquiring about paste operations between X11 windows, one of which was
vim -- which is of course a different matter from manipulating vi
buffers (a useful skill in itself, of course).
