Sigh.  More "almost correct" comments about copy & paste on VWS:

	In order to enable cut and paste on UIS, you must define the following
	logical names:

	    UIS$VT_ENABLE_COPY  ==> TRUE
Yes.
	    UIS$VT_ENABLE_LOCATOR  ==> TRUE

Probably irrelevant.

	    UIS$VT_ENABLE_PASTE ==> TRUE
Yes.

In addition, these must be define /SYSTEM and PROBABLY /EXEC.

	These must be defined before UIS is started or it won't work.

The values are sampled whenever a terminal emulator window is created.  If you
set them after VWS starts up, any new windows will have working copy and
paste.  You can also force old windows to get re-created by doing a "Reset
Terminal" in the "Additional Options" menus.
								      If you
	do this, you'll have cut and paste facilities -- middle mouse button
	marks a region and the right mouse button pastes it into the terminal
	input buffer of the window the pointer is in.

In addition, the leftmost button cancels a pending copy, and the hitting the
rightmost one right away does a copy with an immediate paste.

	THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY DEC. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

In VWS V3.2, it works but is undocumented and unsupported.  In VWS V3.3 or
VWS V4.0, it is documented and supported, BUT IT ISN'T EXACTLY THE SAME.
Read the documentation for details - the V3.3/V4.0 version is essentially a
superset, but it is NOT 100% compatible.

	Caveats aside, I've had then enabled ever since DECUS Anaheim where I
	found out about them, and they've worked fine for me. Your experiences
	may be different, of course. This stuff is documented in VWS 4.0.
