Re: does rxvt support cut and paste?

Normally Shift-Insert will (Standard Windows conventions...)
No, that's not "standard windows conventions"! The 'doze conventions
are Ctrl+X/C/V for cut/copy/paste.
Shift+Ins/Del is the *MS-DOS* convention, as seen in such classic and
historical programs as 'ed'.....
I refer you to
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/keyboard/keyboardresults.asp?Product=2
which clearly shows SHIFT+INSERT (search for that) as a standard way to
paste (as well as CTRL+V). That MS-DOS may have also supported that is
irrelevant really.
Interestingly though MS lists keyboard short cuts for the various
flavors of Windows - 98, 2000, XP, 2003. Some list SHIFT+INSERT as paste
right along side of CTRL+V (98, 2000), some don't list it at all (XP)
and 2003 lists them separately. In practice however CTRL+V ==
SHIFT-INSERT. YMMV.
And, most importantly to the OP, SHIFT-INSERT works with rxvt.
