I've already selected the text via the cursor...all I want to do is
to copy into the windows clipboard and paste it somewhere else.

Fixes/addresses the problem. "*y works but "+y does not.
So why do some people's vim (Erik, me) work with * while others
find + works fine?
It'd be nice that whatever the reason - if it is some setting or the phase
of the moon, that the menu would dynamically display the key binding to do
the associated action -- that would solve this problem no matter which way
it is setup.
Now why my * works over +, I don't know.
I don't know why, but "*y works --
Now I need to figure out how to get my menu fixed to match reality
rather than some pre-ordained config (no doubt I have something weird in
my setup that caused this... I use different versions of 'vim' all over the
place.
Sigh...
