It has nothing to do with top.  It is a feature of X.
A *very* useful feature.  I use it many times every day.

Block (highlight) text in xterm (or other application) 
by holding down the left mouse-button and moving the 
mouse.  Bring up a different xterm (or application) 
and press the center mouse-button to copy the entire 
block.
