Mark the region you want to copy - using the keyboard, place point at the start and hit C-space. Move to the end and hit A-w to copy or C-w to copy and kill the region. Then go to the application you want to past into and use the middle mouse button to paste (assuming X windows). Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
