Look at x-mouse.el in your emacs lisp directory and you should be able
to figure it out. Basically, you click the left button to set the
point and click the middle button to insert stuff. Clicking the right
button copies from the point to wherever you click. Holding down
control while you click the middle button cuts everything between the
point and where you click.

Sure. If the environmental variable DISPLAY is set, then emacs will
run in X mode unless you use the -nw flag. In all other cases, it
runs in normal, non-X mode.
