Does Xoom do App to App Cut and Paste?

I would like to be able to highlight a phrase or paragraph, cut or copy t to a clipboard and then paste it into another application such as email or Notes.

MY DX will not do that. Can XXoom do it?

Yes. I do it all of the time. It doesn't work from "everything" though. For example I can't copy from this web page and paste. I can copy from (as far as I know) any field that I can edit.

Are you doing cut and paste from a Xoom or from droid 2?

How do you go about Highlignting more than one word?

HOw do you initiate Copy or Cut?

How do you initiate Paste in the other App?

To initiate simply long pressed near the words that you want to copy. (Actually I was wrong, I can copy from this site... more below). The long press action often won't get the exact words you want, but you'll end up with some highlighted words and some controls that allow you to modify the selection.
With a selection made there are buttons at the top of the screen that allow you to specify that you want to do a copy.
To paste,all you need to do is long press in an input field. Again,you'll get a Congolese that allows you to specify the cursor position, then an on screen control near the cursor that says paste.
I'll copy / paste your message below. No, I don't have a way to prove that I didn't just retype it, but I'm very lazy :smileyvery-happy:

Looks like it drops the hard returns and just gets the text.
