You can use the buffers.
"a yy will add the current line to buffer a.
"A 5 yy will add 5 lines to buffer a. Note the use of case.
"a p will write the contents of buffer a to the other file.
Note that buffer a does not interfere with using a for a bookmark. In
other words if you've marked an area with 'm a', "a y'a will put the
text from the current position to the bookmark in buffer a.
Also note that "* p will insert the contents of the clipboard or copy the
text to the clipboard. I use that if I have files open in two different
gvim instances.
