What sql*plus? The command line, or the windows version? Your description applies to the windows version; command line: highlight, press enter.
go to the sql*plus window (it must have focus), make sure your mouse pointer is within the window, and right-click. If the "Quick Edit" option is on (by default, it is not), that should paste.
