Okay... you're a moron and it can be done.

When I'm in a Syncterm window, I left-click and hold, then drag to 
highlight the desired text on the screen.  When I get to the lower-right 
corner of what I want to copy, I let go of the mouse button.  The (blue) 
highlight goes away immediately, but the text is still copied into the 
clipboard/buffer.  Then, in some other (Linux) app, I middle-click the 
mouse, and that highlighted text is pasted into that app.

I'm using Syncterm v1.1b in SDL mode, if that matters (and it might).
