- linkend="moused">previous section</link>), hold down the
- button 1 (left button) and move the mouse to select a region
- of text. Then, press the button 2 (middle button) to paste
- it at the text cursor. Pressing button 3 (right button)
- will <quote>extend</quote> the selected region of
- text.</para>
+ <para>Cut and paste is not supported. It is in fact a copy
+ and paste operation. Once you get the mouse daemon running
+ (see the <link linkend="moused">previous section</link>),
+ hold down the button 1 (left button) and move the mouse to
+ select a region of text. Then, press the button 2 (middle button)
+ to paste it at the text cursor. Pressing button 3 (right button)
+ will <quote>extend</quote> the selected region of
+ text.</para>
<para>If your mouse does not have a middle button, you may
wish to emulate one or remap buttons using mouse daemon
