You're right. GNU screen works pretty well for that. The only quibble I have is that it can take quite a few keystrokes to navigate the GNU Screen cursor to the text that you want to copy, anchor the selection, navigate to the end of the selection, etc. Compare that to the selection and copying processes if you use a native app's editing functions. Typically "Ctrl-A" in a Windows app, for example, will select all of the text in the current field and "Ctrl-C" will copy it. It's a quibble, I know, but with something as basic as copy and paste, every keystroke saved can multiply quickly and result in improved efficiency over time. I was hoping to find something that slick and efficient for elinks. _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
