To paste is called yank in emacs.
So normally you copy or cut as usual in MacOSX, then you switch to
emacs and type: C-y to paste.
(To copy is called kill-ring-save M-w and to cut is called kill-region
C-w, but if you use emacs on X, then everytime you select (mark) a
region, it's automatically "copied").

all aspects. The first system to really do this in an important way
is Lisp. -- Alan Kay
