Hi,

often I have two vim's open. Is there a way to copy text from one vim session into the other? 
I am using vim in an xterm, so it would be nice to select text with the left mouse button and past with the middle button. This works when I hold down the shift-key, but then also the line numbers are pasted. Is there a way to avoid this?
Is it possible to copy and paste without mouse between two vim sessions? I usually use the mouse only to drag the statusline.

Thanks & regards, Catherine.
