click and drag left button      -> cut highlighted text
double click left button        -> cut "word"
triple click left button        -> cut "line"

middle button   -> paste

click left and click right      -> cut region

Just curious, since I'm thinking about moving from my current
Slackware 3.3 to Debian 2.1.   Why did you switch to Debian?
