Well, since it works, something is acting as a clipboard. It doesn't seem to be xclip in my case. Anyway, that's what I been doing is highlighting something else and that makes it paste the new highlighted info instead of previous info. I have no idea if those entries are stored somewhere or when gone, they gone. I'm hoping they are gone. Dale :-) :-) P. S. My new 16TB drive is almost done with the long SMART test. :-D
