double-click in hpterm

Does anyone know of a way to get double-click to work in hpterm (like it does in xterm)?

I can be fairly lazy when it comes to using the mouse and copy/paste operations between terms is the only real use I have for it. I have always used xterm and I'm quite use to double-clicking words and quickly pasting them.

I have started using hpterm instead of xterm to get the benefits of soft-keys, etc, but to my disappointment I have to actually *scroll* across the text I wan't to copy (how crude). I have looked in the hpterm man page, but couldn't find anything (unless I overlooked it (it's quite a long read).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David

There is no double-click or triple-click selection in hpterm. Perhaps you would be happier using dtterm.
Hpterm does have a right button click that simultaneously selects and pastes the remainder of the line to the right of the mouse position. I sometimes missed that when I first switched to dtterm.
