I believe Galen meant to say C-v instead of C-c.

But like Galen says... there is nothing magical about about getting
this to work.

Press C-space at the beginning of a line... C-n down a few lines to
get a region and hit either M-w (to copy) or C-w (to cut).  Then go to
notepad (or wherever) and hit C-v or Shift-insert to paste.
