That's good for some pasting jobs.  Under Linux, I also have a function key defined
to paste so I don't have to go reaching for the mouse.  I haven't figured out how to
do that with cygwin yet, though.

But, it might be useful to mention in this context that you can also access /dev/clipboard.

for example:

  $ note < /dev/clipboard

(note: note is my script)
