When I am editing a file using ee I can move the curser to the location I want to copy and press left mouse button and drag the mouse down and right to highlight a block of lines. When I release the left mouse button the selected lines stay highlighted. I them move the curser to the location I want to past the lines and press both left & right mouse buttons at the same time and nothing happens. I do not know what you mean by extend your selection with the right button? Give me a example of how you do it that I can try, using ee /etc/hosts file. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Thompson [mailto:ryan@sasknow.com] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 8:22 PM To: Joe & Fhe Barbish Cc: FBSD Questions Subject: RE: Using mouse on syscon?

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 <ryan@sasknow.com> 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
