What do you mean by "a terminal"?  Are you not in an X11
environment, or are you just using a vim without X11?

By "terminal" I mean a "pseudo terminal" opened by PuTTY when I ssh to a server. I seldom use X11 enviroment for work and I use gvim only on Windows. :)
 

If the
latter, that's your problem.  Vim doesn't have to run as gvim to
take advantage of X11 features.  Try using "gvim -v" instead of
"vim", with mouse=a, and see if that helps.  That will give you a
terminal-mode vim with X11 features enabled.

Copying and pasting works fine for me using either xterm or GNOME
Terminal, whether using screen or not, and whether TERM is set to
xterm, xterm-color or screen.

Will try that when I use X11. Thanks for the tip anyway.
 

I've never used dtterm--I just built
xterm for Solaris.

Could you tell me how to build xterm for Solaris? I find TERM=xterm does not work well by default on Solaris 11 and TERM=dtterm works fine.

Gary
