>From aptitude's FAQ: 3.3. I want to select text, why doesn't aptitude let me disable the mouse? When a program running in an xterm is using the mouse, the xterm disables text selection. However, you can override this behavior and perform a selection by holding the Shift key down. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
