do 'man xterm' and go down to "POINTER USAGE". It starts right out
talking about the cut buffer and the X PRIMARY SELECTION (which is not
the clipboard). Its not much help, but seems to mean that xterm doesn't
come with this functionality at all.
As best as I can understand it, -C should copy the PRIMARY buffer to
the Aqua (and the X) clipboard. This is kinda slow, as you already
know.
The method of copying something in Aqua seems like over-kill to me.
I've taken to just leaving a short pause between -c in X and -v in
Aqua. It might help to try hitting -c several times. I have never seen
any correlation between how recently you copied from aqua and the delay
in copy in X.
Hope this helps.

That is useful to know. So does anyone know how to copy to the "real"
