If the buttons work, you should be able to select text by dragging with the left button, extend your selection with the right button, and send the currently highlighted text as keystrokes (paste, in other words) with the middle mouse button. (Or, if you have a two button mouse, by pressing both buttons simultaneously). If the buttons don't work, you won't be able to highlight text. - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
