You mean besides picking Edit annd paste from the menu? Or maybe you could try Ctrl-V.
No there is not a simulated three-button mouse.
Copying is done with a very quick double tap where you want the copy to begin, then as you move you will see the marked area change, and after you have marked the area, select Edit from the menu nd copy it.

Yes, what I was looking for was button emulation in Maemo. I use a linux desktop at work, and the middle button paste has become very convenient.
I have tried using the menu to copy, and then ^V to paste, no work. It would appear that there are no keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste in osso-xterm

I believe in the linux world - or Bash/Ash world at least - it's the emacs cntrl-y. I don't have my N800 handy otherwise I'd verify...

Good thinking, though.

^y ("yank") is one of the emacs controls normally supported by shells (including bash). Works fine on the desktop (e.g. write some text, move a bit left and ^k ("kill") it, then move around (or not) and ^y it back. It's still available for more yanking at the next line). Doesn't work with the N800 shell (ash), but it would possibly work if you install bash and switch to it first thing in osso-xterm.

I have also raised a bug/enhancement requesting keyboard shortcuts for osso-xterm (see bug 2032 https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2032

There are no keyboard shortcuts for copy and past in osso-xterm, so copying long paths take a bit of tapping.
What I would like to do is select the long path, and then middle click (to paste).
TIA,
