This works for gnome-terminal and wterm but not xterm or konsole. All the user wants to do is copy data from a spreadsheet cell opened in OpenOffice to a konsole terminal. The pasted material would almost obviously be the arguement to a command. The problem is that in Konsole this does not work for either the Edit Copy and then in Konsole Edit Paste or the more traditional Unix highlighting of the text and then middle clicking into the Terminal. The former action highlighting the text and middleclicking into the terminal works for gnome-terminal and wterm but not in either the konsole app or xterm. Any ideas? Is there a preferences option that I need to set or env variable? -- Johnathan Bailes BAE Systems ESI "UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things." - Doug Gwyn ---
