No, or at least not Windows, AFAICT. However, Windows doesn't put something in the clipboard simply by selecting it, you must do something explicit (like hit <ctrl>c) to copy it to the clipboard. Then it remains in the clipboard until you explicitly select something else and hit <ctrl>c (or <ctrl>x to cut, etc.) Randy Kramer
