To copy with a two button mouse, hold down left button and highlight text. To paste, push both left and right buttons at the same time. With a three button copy as described above and use the middle button to paste. You can also triple click left button to copy a line of text. Double click a word. hth, kent > -- > John Foster > AdVance-Computing Systems > [EMAIL PROTECTED]
