K95's mouse actions might be a bit different from what you expect. They are
designed for speed, and ultimately ease of use. Most of them accomplish in
one action operations that normally take two or three actions.
Highlighting text with the mouse does select the text, even though the
highlighting disappears when you let go of the mouse button. The text is
indeed copied to the clipboard. Then you can copy it into other windows
using normal methods (e.g. Edit->Paste or Ctrl-V) in that window.

Ctrl-Shift-Drag-Button-1 is supposed to select text and send it to the
printer. As far as I can tell, this works fine in Kermit 95 1.1.17.
However, this is all one action, not two separate actions (mark, then print).
The mouse-related buttons on the Console window toolbar can be used too
if you SET MOUSE ACTIVATE OFF, but they don't work very well due to bugs
in the Microsoft Console Driver, and they don't have nearly the
functionality of Kermit's built-in mouse actions.
For a complete description of what the mouse can do, and how, in Kermit 95,
see the online manual (accessible from Help on the Dialer menu), Chapter 7
(Using the Terminal Emulator), Section "Using the Mouse".
