In a non-X environment just press the right button. In X right button should open a window menu with “paste” in it. Then, of course, there’s always CTRL-SHIFT-V. It just occurred to me. Are you sure you’re copying? With GPM without X, hold SHIFT while pressing left button. Then right button to paste. Once again, after you “select” a right click *should* get you a window menu with “copy” in it.
