Or do you mean you have to tell xterm to copy selection to clipboard

are the reasons for not setting 'XTerm*VT100*selectToClipboard: true'?
Setting it 'true' appears to copy a swept out section with mouse-1
immediately - which you may be happy with.
I am using Xclipboard and have it false (normally) and set these
translations:
XTerm*VT100*translations: #override \
<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD)\n\
<Btn2Down>:ignore()
So normally for me button 2 up does the job of moving PRIMARY to
CLIPBOARD and button 3 can be used to
extend the original selection - which I've always liked.
When selectToClipboard is set to true - you can get the extend
functionality by button 1 clicking at one place, and button 3 clicking
at another. However, this doesn't appear to highlight so is a little
unfriendly.
