Cut and paste w/mouse

Hey Folks,

I'm a longtime unix/linux commandline vi user, and work mostly at the console.
Does dinosaur come to mind? Well anyway...

Recently I've started using vim and like the automatic formating and highlighting features.

In vi, I can use the mouse to copy something from another terminal and paste it into the file I'm editing.

I can't figure out a way to do that with vim. I copy something with the left mouse button, press "i" to insert and then press the right mouse button.
The -- (insert) VISUAL -- mode comes up with a bunch of highlighted lines.

Is there a way to disable the Visual mode? If(not), then vim is just a pretty way to display my code.
Of course I may have to learn something new! It may be tough, (Old dog ya' know!) but I'm willing to try.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.
