That is the method to copy text *from* vim to another location *in* vim. It
doesn't work when I want to copy text from a web page and paste it into a
document I'm editing with vim.

I did find the solution though. I can use the "paste keystrokes" my terminal
uses while in vim, in insert mode.

Thx,
