When I select some text with > the mouse, that text is copied to clipboard, that is really annoying, Sorry i'm not answering your actual question. What operating system and what graphical interface are you using? That is typical X behavior, i.e. selecting text in any program automatically copies it to the clipboard. You can paste by clicking the middle mouse button (or two simultaneously if you're using a two-button mouse). Why do you find it annoying? Are you doing something special with the clipboard? What are you doing selecting text that you don't want to copy? Joel -- Joel J.
