That's tricky, because we're just using a dumb text widget to display
it.  As long as the hex data is all on the same line, you *can* right
click and copy (control-C should work, on both UNIX+X and Windows), but
if it's split between lines, you'd have to copy it a line at a time.

We'd either have to have our own text display widget, or use some widget
to display it as three separate columns of text (offset, hex, ASCII), in
order to let you select just the hex data for multiple lines.
