Netsurf is very picky. When you copy text to the clipboard the file ty[e is copued with it. Netsurf will only accept text, which is a damn nuisance since if you're copying a URL it's highly likely to come out of an html page or file. If you paste the text into Edit, and it stays a Text file then you can copy and paste or save it from there. It helps to type a random character into the Edit window first so it sets the filetype to text. There are similar nasties if you try to paste text into a textarea. It's quite likely to be rendered as a new page. I would suggest a feature request if there isn't one there already. Are we going to get a new version of Netsurf or is it stuck permanently at 09 Jan? -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Confidentiality statement: Imagine 50 lines of pointless verbiage.
