In X, copying text works by highlighting the text with the mouse, and then pasting it somewhere else. When you paste, whatever text is selected is what gets pasted. Some applications, like those that use QT (like Opera) or GTK+ may not work exactly the same. To use your example, to copy text from Opera, I would highlight it by pressing the left button and dragging the mouse to the end of the text. Then I would switch to the xterm and press the middle button to insert the text. It works the other way around too. -- Joseph Applegate (SB-X) [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
