I wanted to check out the help info, maybe learn something new. This is what I get when trying to find xclip. root@fireball / # xc <tab twice> xcam xchm xcircuit root@fireball / # There doesn't appear to be a xclip on here, not as a command anyway. Could it be some other name? Maybe it changed? I'm sure it is something. I just don't know what. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
