 You confuse the shell and the terminal it is running in.

 Just go to the mentioned top-left, select properties (or some
 thing like that - I do not konw the english versions)
 enable "quick-Edit" and "Insert-mode" (last two checkboxes
 in the "options"-field). Now you can mark with the left button,
 copy with the right, and past with an other hit of the right
 button.

 Use rxvt comming with cygwin, or use xterm and a x-server.


 Have fun!
