Harold:
Do you really recopy the replies that you quote?
I suspect so because you misspelled "plugged"
where I was quoted below.
You can copy the item to be quoted by sweeping over
it with the left mouse button depressed. Then hit
control-"C'. Position the mouse cursor where you want
the quote to appear in your message and with
no buttons depressed, hit control-"V".
If you do not like using the keyboard, you can
find "copy" and "paste" with the right mouse button.
