Not sure if Ctrl-A works in a textarea but you'd need to do Ctrl-A Ctrl_C to copy everything. I still have problems trying to edit in a textarea and in particular anything pasted still goes in a line above the cursor. Like Peter, if I have a lot to type I use an Edit window and then save it into the textarea. -- _ |_|. _ Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ |\_||_ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Disclaimer: Please imagine about 50 lines of pointless clutter.
