I used screen a few times, so I emerged it to try it again. The sequence you give almost works, but I cannot seem to be able to paste what I select into other applications (it does not seem to be put in the X cut and paste buffer). Any suggestion as how to do this? Alan Schmitt -- The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen. .O. ..O OOO
