If I do a ls -a in a narrow window to get ~50 lines, then I can paste into the terminal window. (to open a vi session, I just do vi without a file name). Now, if I do ls -alF in a narrow window (ie, each file is not on its own line), then I can paste just fine. But, if I do ls -alF in a window that is wide enough to have each file on a separate line, (not sure if all this is necessary) and I copy from immediately following the ls commnad to the end (for me, thats 56 lines this time, but 35 is the minimum to get the same affect--my copy is listed below) then it freezes up. ls -alF ---- begin copy ------- total 5781 drwxr-xr-x 15 jfreeze wheel 1536 May 26 12:24 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 512 Apr 21 13:43 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 22197 May 17 08:19 .RealNetworks_RealMediaSDK_60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1063 May 17 08:19 .RealNetworks_RealPlayer_60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 105 May 17 08:14 .RealNetworks_RealShared_00 -rw------- 1 jfreeze wheel 5574 May 26 15:38 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 48 Mar 28 06:50 .bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 472 May 26 09:35 .bashrc drwxr-xr-x 4 jfreeze wheel 512 Apr 17 07:52 .bluefish/ drwxr--r-- 3 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 30 15:24 .c-forge/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 490 Mar 22 02:51 .cshrc drwx------ 3 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 30 15:24 .ddd/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 25 May 22 12:56 .gvimrc -rw------- 1 root wheel 26 May 25 12:20 .history drwxr-xr-x 3 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 22 08:06 .kde/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 1041 May 26 15:37 .kderc -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 6 May 26 12:23 .kss-install.pid.kolob.lex.lexmark.com -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 5 Apr 6 14:22 .kss-install.pid.kolob.lexmark.com -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 585 Mar 22 02:51 .login -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 164 Mar 22 02:51 .login_conf -rw------- 1 jfreeze wheel 375 Mar 22 02:51 .mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 166 May 17 08:02 .mailcap -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 335 Mar 22 02:51 .mailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 85 May 17 08:02 .mime.types -rw------- 1 jfreeze wheel 32 May 25 11:54 .mysql_history drwx------ 5 jfreeze wheel 512 May 26 15:30 .netscape/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 768 Mar 23 07:55 .profile -rw------- 1 jfreeze wheel 280 Mar 22 02:51 .rhosts -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 856 Mar 22 02:51 .shrc -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 56 Apr 18 08:16 .signature -rwxr-xr-x 1 jfreeze wheel 14 Mar 22 02:51 .xinitrc* -rwxr-xr-x 1 jfreeze wheel 14 Mar 22 02:51 .xsession* drwxr-xr-x 4 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 30 15:21 C-ForgeWork/ drwx------ 5 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 22 08:07 Desktop/ drwx------ 2 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 28 10:31 Mail/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 559588 Mar 31 09:13 NPAGV001.PRN -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 35379 Jan 9 12:11 README -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 21151 Jan 9 12:11 RELNOTES -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 1543 May 19 12:14 RunTestServlet drwxr-xr-x 4 jfreeze wheel 512 May 20 14:37 SiteBackup/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 4636 May 12 09:46 XF86Config -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 535870 May 20 14:48 avi.bak.tar.z -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 328 Mar 28 12:14 fetch -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 636 Mar 22 13:49 gdb-transcript -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 363 Apr 17 13:57 goals.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 1836334 Mar 29 16:42 handbook.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 422 Mar 30 14:13 m -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 2665951 Mar 28 07:30 manual_m-x.pdf -rw------- 1 jfreeze wheel 2227 Apr 6 14:25 mbox -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 1604 Mar 28 14:38 mysql -rwxr-x--- 1 jfreeze wheel 140 May 10 09:51 mysql-server.sh* -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 5777 Apr 21 08:16 notes drwxr-xr-x 6 jfreeze wheel 512 May 25 15:04 personal/ drwxr-xr-x 2 jfreeze wheel 512 Mar 23 08:17 src/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 103964 May 19 08:47 the-big-qmail-picture-103-a4.ps drwxr-xr-x 6 jfreeze wheel 512 May 2 09:19 tmp/ -rw-r--r-- 1 jfreeze wheel 232 Apr 21 11:58 todo drwxr-xr-x 4 jfreeze wheel 512 Apr 25 06:49 web/ ----- end copy ----- Note, the wraps are due to pine.
