How can I copy a link URL in either lynx or links to copy to vim?

Tags:

linux

lynx

I am having the most difficult time trying to figure out how to copy a link URL in either of these two browsers and then paste it into vim. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? I am using Slackware 13.1. Any alternatives to copy/paste are also acceptable.

you can use "screen" command. It has it's own copy-paste mechanism.
