Having found that it is well-nigh impossible to copy-paste from the RunRev 4 script editor

1. RunRev 2.2.1: no joy.

2. Metacard 2.5: no joy.

What does this tell us?

It tells us that for some clipboard managers, you need to try the solution Pierre mentioned. The choice of software components that makes Linux so appealing to its users is also the reason that Rev doesn't work with everything. If you're using one of the more universally popular managers then bug-report it.

I know that when MetaCard was in active development, the script editor in Linux worked fine because Dr Raney did all his development on that platform. So what's happened in between is that the clipboard manager has changed, or you are using one he wasn't using.

BTW, you can save yourself some trouble next time if you just do something like this from the message box:

 put the script of btn 1 into url ("file:myScript.txt")

I know you shouldn't have to, but it will save you some time.
