OK, here I go. Quick Edit is checked, and I'm running from what looks like the Win XP command console. I am not in full screen mode. I've applied changes to the window.

Is it possible to paste from outside? For example copy and paste from a txt file. phob...@geosyntec.com wrote: > Third Google result for "copy paste in DOS prompt" > http://www.copy--paste.org/copy-paste-between-dos-windows.htm > > Note that right-clicking is going to execute behavior, not bring up a > contextual menu. > > -p > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Wayne Watson [mailto:sierra_mtnv...@sbcglobal.net] >> Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 12:57 PM >> To: Gary Pajer >> Cc: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] I Need a Couple of Tips for Windows to >> Get Started on IPython >> >> Right-click does nothing on the IPython window. >> >> The Windows command console is, I think, a lost cause all together.
