   You have to use the "-clipboard" parameter... and it is a little buggy 
   and your selected text will be immediately unselected.  (Don't comment 
   on the unselection thing unless you are an amazing programmer and you 
   have a fix in hand; in other words, it is more difficult to fix than you 
   could possibly imagine.)
