Mark the text to copy by setting the region. i.e. put the cursor at the start of the block to be copied and hit C-space. 2. Move to the end of the block to be copied and copy the text to the kill ring with M-w. It is very easy to select large bits of text this way. I also use the keyborad ratther than the mouse as I find its a lot faster, especially when you can do things like reverse the start/end marking of the block - so I can go from the end backwards to the start of the text and select it rather than going back to the start, setting mark and then to the end and doing a copy. 3. Switch to firefox (or whatever) and use the middle mouse button to paste in the text. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
