Thanks to all who responded.  Turns out that emacs is putting the 
desired text into CUT_BUFFER0, whereas xterm, etc, usually take
stuff from the PRIMARY buffer.  

Two possible fixes:  

a) Keep an xcutsel around, which lets you transfer stuff betwixt 
   primary and copy buffer 0.

b) Add a line similar to the following to your .Xdefaults file:

XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override ~Shift <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CUT_BUFFER0)

Thanks to Gardner Cohen <beldar@mips.com> and Steve Weinrich <weinrich@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu> for their assistance!!

Hope this helps someone else out there...
