If the clipping includes the new line, it is being escaped. Then the shell prompts for the continuation of the command -- your secondary prompt must be a question mark -- since the escaped new line is not recognized as the command end. Perhaps this is related to the new Text Clipping features in Snow Leopard. (You can open a clipping and select a portion, and copy or even drag from a text clipping.) I am puzzled by the statement, "Neither textedit nor pages seems to be able to create finder clippings". I have no problem making clippings from either of these applications. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
