Ah!  That works!  Thank you.

But there are still a couple problems.

1) Shift-Insert is a huge improvement, but is still a little
    clunky.  I'd like to tie it to Shift-Ctrl-Y, but when I
    press CTRL-h Shift-Insert, the *Help* window cryptically
    reports, "T runs the command self-insert-command".  What
    command is actually running?

2) How can I go the other way--copy from emacs in a terminal
    to the Windows clipboard?
