Jeff, Perhaps you weren't paying attention to this topic a couple weeks ago? You have the best of both worlds. You can copy and paste *with* plus signs, or you can copy and paste *without* plus signs. And there's also the right-click choice of "paste command" vs. plain "paste." Below is part of Razzak's "tip of the day" from January 9. Bill When copying exact code with multiple lines and continuation symbol such as "+" at the R> prompt, it can be tedious to take out all the + symbols and turn the entire code as one line for the R> prompt to execute properly. For example, a command looks like the following when typed in RBEdit or R:BASE Editor 7.6. CHOOSE vWhereCluase FROM #WHERE IN Customer + OPTION THEMENAME R:BASE Rocks! + |WHERE_CLAUSE WHERE CustState IS NOT NULL + GROUP BY CustState HAVING COUNT(CustState) > 1 If you copy and past the above command with multiple lines and continuation symbols at the R> prompt, it will be copied exactly as is, and then you would have to eliminate the "+" symbols before pressing the [Enter] key to execute the command. Did you know that you use the "Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C" keys to copy the entire block and paste at the R> prompt as one single line without the continuation "+" symbols? Using "Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C" keys eliminates the continuation "+" symbols at the end of each line when pasted.
