The way S-PLUS handles cutting and pasting depends on where it is being run. If you are running S-PLUS in an hpterm or xterm window, you can copy with the left mouse button and paste with the center button. If you have emacs running, you can copy S-PLUS output to the emacs window in this fashion, then write the report in emacs. You could also do this in the other direction, by typing commands in the emacs window and then pasting them at the S-PLUS prompt.
