What do you mean by "a terminal"? Are you not in an X11
environment, or are you just using a vim without X11? 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. I've never used dtterm--I just built
xterm for Solaris.
