I agree, it is a pain that this important feature was left out of the
emacstool interface.  But Stuff does work.

To move text to or from a Shelltool (or any text window with a "Stuff"
option in its menu):

  Select the text you want to paste using the left and/or middle mouse
  buttons.   When it's highlighted, move to the window you want to paste
  into and select "Stuff" from it's menu.

To move text to or from a window without a "Stuff" option:

  Use Put&Get [or Stuff] to get it to a Shelltool (or any other window
  that will support BOTH Stuff and Put&Get) and once the text is there,
  use Stuff [or Put&Get] to it to the destination window.
