(still haven't figured out how to copy previous messages.)


The task of cutting/copying and pasting messages is really quite
simple. You take your cursor, highlight the group of letters of the
text that you wish to "lift" off the page/paragraph/post, whatever,
and transfer to the new post. Keeping the selection highlighted, right
click your mouse to bring up the editing menu, and choose COPY. This'll
transfer it to the computer's clipboard (even my 266 had a clipboard, and
the 486's at school did, so I assume this will work for everyone). There
is a keyboard shortcut, while you are highlighted, that does the same
thing as the right-click-COPY and that is CTRL-C combination. Either
way it gets to the clipboard for temporary storage.

When you create your new post, you have the choice of either CRTL-V or
right-click-PASTE, either will paste your selection right where you want
it on the post.

I hope this helps? 2 years as a lab monitor for freshman and sophomore
college students. I hope I didn't dummy it too much, but I didn't want
to make it too technical either!

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY POSTING!
When you are
