It took me a while to get up to speed to using the
copy-and-paste functionality.  But I kept getting to machines
where the mouse was malfunctioning (over a kvm switch, for
instance), or X was running and I couldn't get it to share
easily (or at all) with gpm (KNOPPIX live CD on some hardware),
or whatever, so I finally learned it.  

Yet another arrow in screen's mind-blowing quiver of unobtrusive
yet powerful functionality.  I can't recommend it enough.
