<title>Introduction to <application><acronym>GPM</acronym></application></title>
<para>The <application><acronym>GPM</acronym></application> (General
Purpose Mouse daemon) package contains a mouse server for the console
and <command>xterm</command>. It not only provides cut and paste support
generally, but its library component is used by various software such as
<application>Links</application> to provide mouse support to the
application generally. It is useful on desktops, especially if following
(Beyond) Linux From Scratch instructions - it's often much easier (and
less error prone) to cut and paste between two console windows than to
type everything by hand!</para>
