using xterm with copy/paste & X forwarding

xterm coming with OpenBSD default installation is basically enough for heavy terminal users. after you login xdm, an xterm popups for you, under the environment of Fvwm window manager. it supports copy (highlight text with your mouse), paste (middle-click your mouse), and X forwarding from other unix-like machines.

Of course you have to turn on Forwarding options in /etc/ssh/ssh_config first to make X forwarding work.
