Annemehr:
My method doesn't work between Netscape and IE?  I'm really 
surprised, because I thought your clipboard was an independent thing 
on your computer.  I mean, I've used my method to c&p between IE and 
Word, and IE and Notepad, and Word and Notepad, among other things, 
and never had a problem.  Though I can't recall if I've ever copied a 
URL from a non-IE source to paste into the IE address bar.  Let's 
see...

Yep, just tried to c&p a URL from Notepad to IE and it worked fine.

Now I'm all curious, and when I get onto a computer that has both 
Netscape and IE, I'm going to play with it, just for my own 
satisfaction.

Annemehr:
Now I know what you mean!  They do sound cute.  But using them would 
involve moving the mouse to a certain spot before the second click, 
and I'm too lazy to do that!
