Copying stuff from vim running in putty

Question

I am running Vim 6.3 through putty and putty connection manager. I have the mouse option set (set mouse = a). I am able to paste things from the (windows) clipboard to vim b

Answer 1

Do not use mouse=a.
Put the mouse in commandline mode (:set mouse=c).
Then you can just select your text to put it in the system clipboard (as with all other PUTTY/KITTY commands),
