Hello.

Do you know any program or even better a gpm feature via which I could 
access GPM selection? Say I wanted to select text `Hello World!' on 
a text console using GPM and then this program (let's call it 
`gpmselection') would output to stdout:

% gpmselection
Hello World!

It would be nice to write to gpm selection as well. Say by writing:
% echo "Hello World!" | gpmselection

it would be possible to paste `Hello World!' on a console.

What I am aiming at is an echange of data between X and a console. I 
have a program `xsel' which does the same thing with X-Window selection.

Thank you very much in advance.
