Every telnet or ssh client has its own way of allowing you to copy and paste text. I can't possibly cover all the possibilities. You may have to actually consult the documentation on your telnet/ssh client, but here are some common ones:
In xterm, just drag the mouse across a portion of the text to copy it to the clipboard. Click with the middle mouse button to paste text into an xterm. These techniques work with almost all X programs.
In PuTTY, just drag the mouse across a portion of the text to copy it to the clipboard. Click with the middle mouse button to paste text or type Shift-Insert.
In Windows telnet (or anything that runs in a Windows
cmd window), drag your mouse across the text and hit
Enter/Return. If the text is not highlighted when you drag your
mouse across it, then right-click on the command window's title bar,
select Properties, and turn on "QuickEdit mode".
In Unix shell sessions, the script command will capture
everything that appears in your telnet/xterm session (until you type
exit) into a file. You can then attach that file to an email
or Forum posting or open it in a text editor and copy and paste into your
email or Forum posting.
