paste into vim


Hi,

how to paste in vim (not gvim) from clipboard ?

I have two terminals (rxvt)

In the first terminal, I select a text with the mouse (and I can see it in the windows clipboard via clipbrd.exe)

In the second terminal, I run vim, and I want to paste the selected text
I try the command "*p
but vim pastes nothing

(If I try with gvim, gvim pastes the selected text)

I suppose cygwin can interact with the windows clipboard
(the selected text in rxvt is displayed in "windows clipboard" with clipbrd.exe)


Is this an issue of vim ?
maybe vim can't use the windows clipboard ?

any idea ?

Thanks,
