I use Midnight Commander (MC) editor over putty to edit files
I want to know how to copy text from one file, close it then open another file and paste it?
If it is not possible with Midnight Commander, is there another easy way to copy and paste specific text from different files?

I would do it like this:
Save block
dialogInsert file
dialogNOTE: There are other environment related methods, that could be more conventional nowadays, but the above one does not depend on any desktop environment related clipboard, (terminal emulator features, putty, Xorg, etc.). This is a pure mcedit feature which works everywhere.
