I'm using mined as my editor, because it has a WordStar interface. As I understand it -- and I'm a stupid newbie, so I probably don't -- there's no standard way to copy a chunk of text from, say, Konqueror and then paste it into mined. (Certainly "clipboard" isn't mentioned anywhere in mined's lengthy documentation.) Therefore in order to paste in a little chunk of text from Konqueror I must paste it into Kate or some such conventional editor, save the result as a file, and read the file into the file I'm writing with mined. Yawn! Googling around for an answer takes me to Mpcb 0.4.2, athttp://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/511140/mpcb.html . There appears to be no SuSE (or RH) package for this proggie. Well, I can probably figure out how to install it. But I hesitate, because it seems to me that what I want to do is so humdrum that there must be a standard way of doing it that I've stupidly overlooked. Comments?
