The second step isn't necessary, at least on my setup.  It's just:

To copy from rxvt to another Windows prog:
1.  Select the text with the left mouse button.  When you release the
button, it automatically gets copied to the clipboard.
2.  Go to your other Windows app and paste as you normally would.

To paste into rxvt, simply hit the middle mouse button.  If you don't have a
middle mouse button, put this in your .inputrc:

# Make the Insert key actually useful
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard

This makes the insert key into a paste key.

Or, use shift left button.

(ii) should be unnecessary. When you select in rxvt it automatically 
puts the selected text in the clipboard.

Yes : (i) select required material from the rxvt terminal with <L-click> and
drag; (ii) press <Alt-C> to copy to the clipboard; (iii) press <Ctrl-V> as
usual to paste into your Windows application. (At least, this is what works
in W98). Fergus
