This depends.  Using GPM at the console to select text areas  is OK
(using SHIFT + INS to then paste the text somewhere.

If you're in X11, you can use the same technique with the mouse.

Or, as a better solution, if you run ELinks within screen, you can use
that to select regions and paste that into other areas of screen.
