Roy,

You got me thinking on a tangent.  How can I cut and paste the whole
multi-line SQL
statement at once and have it useable.  Now you can, of course, use sqlplus
in silent 
mode (-s), but that's a little too silent for my tastes.  So how 'bout set
sqlnumber off 
& sqlprompt '  '.  That way you get:

  select blah, deblah from blahde
  where blah != deblah and ...

Nicely cutable & pasteable, just thought I'd share.

Apologies--I wasn't clear in my original post.  Right now I'm getting:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]> select username
  2  from dba_users
  3  where username like '%MC%' ;

What I'd *really* like to have is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]> select username
           2  from dba_users
           3  where username like '%MC%' ;

That way I could copy/paste sql commands as easily as I could when my prompt
was just "SQL> ".

Setting sqlnumber off gets me:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]> select username
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from dba_users
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> where username like '%MC%' ;

Which isn't horrible, although I do miss the numbers.  But no matter--I'll
just live with it...

Many thanks!

-Roy
