[snip] Roman....make sure the kedit (source) window stays open till the paste is complete: 1. select the text with the left mouse button (drag) in the kedit window 2. paste with a middle mouse button click after placing cursor where the paste should occur in the netscape (destination) window 3. this method also works in reverse, netscape to kedit, as well as between most x applications Alan
