I was unable to copy 4 lines of text from an error message file in Kedit and paste it into Netscape. Using netscape to access yahoo mail, I was creating a message to send via yahoo mail. Anyone know why? what I don't have installed or enabled? My machine is SuSE 7.2pro. Full installation of everything. I thought there was some equivalent of win32's clipboard active in kde2. Finally got yahoo to send the errors as an attachment. First I had to enable java script in netscape. I had it disabled cause I just ~hate~ java stuff as a browser user. You can be working along and something in the java program will re-select something you've just de-selected, or change your city,state selection without you knowing it. And slow to respond to keystrokes, forgot that. yeck. Still would like to know why copy and paste fails. Tom
