What version of PCOMM are you running? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2021 3:23 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IBM PCOMM - copy/paste doesnt work
Looks like this is solved, but the first thing that occurred to me is a problem I have from time to time: As an old fart, I still use <Ctrl-Ins> for copy and <Shift-Ins> for paste, without having to stop and think about it. Mostly that still works, but whenever it doesn't (with some of the newer tools), I have to remember and then hunt down the <Ctrl-C> and <Ctrl-V> keystrokes. I'll bet I'm not the only one. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. -Dennis Wholey */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Cameron Conacher Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2021 08:08 We had some upgrade applied a year or so ago.
