Sorry. What I'm seeing is that I have selected more than 1024 characters in one xterm, and when I paste it in another, I only get the first 1024 of those. The way I checked the number was to type in one shell the "wc" command, then paste into that xterm. The output from wc (if needed, forced to end with one or two ^Ds) tells me its input is only 1024 bytes. I suddenly realise that the problem could also be on the source side of the paste, because if I paste into a gvim window, the limitation seems to occur too. Though I'm not sure if there isn't a pty in there somewhere too. > /~\ The ASCII Mouse -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- There's no point being grown-up if you \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- can't be childish sometimes. -The 4th Doctor
