Annemehr:
I'm not sure what you mean by cut-and-paste "icons."

Just to be clear, after I highlight something I want to copy, I click 
on the highlighted section with the right mouse button, and a menu 
pops up right there.  I choose "copy" from it.

To paste, I click the cursor (with the left mouse button) wherever I 
want to paste the selection (which might be the address bar), and 
then click with the right mouse button again to bring up the menu, 
and choose "paste."  But there are no icons involved, nor toolbars or 
function keys.

I'm using IE7, and I've never had any trouble with toolbars rolling 
away (nor in any of the previous versions), so I can't help you there.

There, see -- I like lots of the fancy features, when I'm playing, or 
when I'm carrying on an intricate conversation with someone (color-
coding comes in handy then).  Besides, some people would send me mail 
with smileys in it sometimes, and Netscape just stripped them all 
out -- I never even knew there was anything missing until I happened 
to look at one in IE one day.

Annemehr,
who still, for some reason, can't be bothered to post to groups using 
Rich-Text Editor, unless there is a long link to be kept whole.
