Yes Mark your right and I find it very anorning I feel the clipboard should be in the OS and not the app so that it is persistent (I think I rember it being so in OS 2 and MAC): but that was not what I was getting at.
What I ment was using the functions within the same app: My first wordprosser was WordPerfect 4.1 flowed by WordPerfect 5 then Office 95, VI, StarOffice, OpenOffice, Nano, Pages and some where along the way Editor I was only told what cut and past did once when using WP 4.1 Apart from WP 5 witch I had to use "help" to find out how and I have never tryed in "VI" :-) (I wander why I have never tryed)LOL (I do use VI a lot) I have always managed to find the cut & past functions. Infact I would say that was the job of a computer-human interface to make the use of any given function intuitive. Steve Sorry for the spelling I am dislex.......
