yes, i use that trick with Edit: type some random text (a Return will do) onto a blank page so Edit takes on the filetype as Text, then paste in my bit from outside. result is text, whatever the outside bit was. a bit easier than changing filetype to Text via the menu. however, in this oddity, the bit i copy (with Ctrl-C) from Impression is ALREADY filetyped as text. (tested by dropping it into a totally empty fresh Edit window.) the mystery concerns why Netsurf's URL bar will not accept it with Ctrl-V. -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk
