You can double click to select entire words, triple click to select entire lines, etc. Then, position the TEXT cursor in the desired area (with cursor movement keys probably) and click the middle mouse button. (If you've only got a two button mouse, try clicking both left and right simultaneously). This works (sometimes with a few slight differences) equally well in console or X sessions. - 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
