I didn't know about xsel. Thanks for mentioning it. I knew about xclip. xsel and xclip seem to have an almost identical feature set. https://packages.debian.org/sid/xclip xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any system with an X11 implementation. It provides an interface to X selections ("the clipboard") from the command line. It can read data from standard in or a file and place it in an X selection for pasting into other X applications. xclip can also print an X selection to standard out, which can then be redirected to a file or another program. Really cool utilities. Bob
