Larry,
Ok...I can tell when a challenge has been laid down and I've accepted
it. Below is a block of text that I was typed out in gedit, copied to the
clipboard and then pasted into this message.
Here's how;
1) highlighted and copies text the usual way.
2) pasted it into the message window in Pine by
pressing the middle mouse button.
This is just a small block and contains no complex formatting other than
that which is common to ASCII text.
hows that? :)
======
This is a block of text that has been cut and pasted from a text editor
into Pine. Transfering text from here to there in Linux isn't the easiest
thing in the world to accomplish.
