For me, konsole does fine -- I can C from it with the mouse (and, presumably,

I was going to restrain myself and not send this, but I succumbed ... sorry
for the noise.

document that calls for running =eval 'ssh-agent'= from a command line.
I wondered why, as I thought I would get the same result from just running
=ssh-agent=, but the results are different -- see below:
$ eval `ssh-agent`
I want to make a comment on this thread that is at least a little bit (maybe a
lot) off point, it is more a suggestion on what might be a better way next time
(although it could be done this time with a little work, I believe). Because
