Chip, I find that this does work, but it is a little strange in application. Try highlighting the text and going strait to the address box with a single middle key click. I usually do this at the beginning of whatever address is already there, and then drag the rest off by highlighting and hitting the delete key. Hope this helps, -- Jim Weeks jim@siteplus.com http://siteplus.com Chip Wiegand wrote: > I use fbsd for my typical home use, on 3 machines, and if there is one item > that I find difficult it is in copy & paste behavior.
