Rumor has it that Micheal E Cooper may have mentioned these words:
[snippage]
I copy-pasted the above block from the book's Firefox window to this
Firefox window, so I know that works. However, I cannot copy from or paste
to either the terminal window or XEdit.

I have tried:
 click-drag selecting and then right-clicking;

Try click-drag selecting and then *middle button* clicking on the terminal window or XEdit.

If your mouse has only 2 buttons, try clicking *both* of them at the same time - that's called "3-button-emulation".

If you're in a CLI (read: text only mode) make sure 'gpm' is running so you have mouse access to the text screen, then the middle-button-click works in lynx as well.

Ah, the MS mouse... Maybe that's it. Maybe it's trying to prevent me from
reaching Unix wizardhood.

I would doubt that - I've used a M$ mouse on an iMac running Linux before - worked just fine. ;-) Yes, I can be a blasphemous rascal at times... ;^>

HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
