Well... 64kb isn't exactly enormous for the type of functionality it offered. It did support copy and paste you just had to enter editing mode. The underlying APIs didn't offer access to copy and paste directly.
Having said that, it doesn't really matter if you didn't like it. It was a pretty big part of the J2ME ecosystem at the time and it's a huge omission.
