my mouse has two buttons + a scrool wheel that can be clicked. clicking the scroll wheel acts the same as clicking the middle mouse button of a three button mouse. so, i can highlight any text with the left mouse button ( or other means ), and then click with the the scroll button to paste into any other application. if you don't have a three button mouse, and don't have a scroll wheel that clicks, you can try clicking right and left mouse buttons very quickly one after the other -- on many systems this is configured to emulate the button 3 click. I highly recommend downloading rxvt and configuring it as your terminal -- it is orders of magnitude better than cmd.exe in my opinion. reid -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
