All you need to do is highlight the text with your mouse, then right click the screen to reveal a context window, and choose copy. Then paste it to any text editor. The other way is to run a command line like this: the_command_line_writes_the_text ~/outputfilename That will send the output to a text file of the outputfilename.

Possibly easier way, highlight txt, then ctrl c to copy txt to buffer, open up txt file, ctrl v to paste txt into file or email or whatever you choose. At least it is for me. -- Regards Chris A 100% Microsoft free computer Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 7:08pm up 6 days, 1:19, 5 users, load average: 0.33, 0.21, 0.24 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Replace the ls in my example with anything that creates text output, and name the output file anything you want. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The ctrl-C will be taken as a command to end the program that was started. You will need to pull down a copy command from the XTerm window. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

Rob True, but if you scroll back in the term you can usually highlight all you want to copy or you can configure the history for more lines. -- Regards Chris A 100% Microsoft free computer Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 8:10pm up 6 days, 2:21, 5 users, load average: 0.88, 0.45, 0.32 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
