There is no easy way that I know of. You can redirect the output to a file,
then open up emacs or another text editor and copy it that way. Or you
should be able to just let the output go to the gnome-terminal output, and
copy it from there. Not nice, or easy, but no OS I know of can copy
directly from the CLUI to the GUI. I may be mistaken, so if I am, flame
away. :)

I've never found an answer to this either. If you find a way, please let
us know.
