Thanks Josh, I wished I had known this last week when I had to cut and paste a computer generated password ;) What I did was to save the file, then load it inside emacs, then cut-and-paste. What a pain!

Is there a place where all this info is documented? --dmg Josh Smith twisted the bytes to say: Josh> A quick reply - the browser does have cut and paste.
