Thanks again for suggestions....mouse 'marking' into clipboard and pasting
directly into WIN98 savvy application works fine for printing. You're right,
Kermit 95 does this with fewer mouse move than expected and is easier to use!
Last question (I think).....is there a scrolling or marking throttle so that I
can speed up the marking/clipboard rate? I usually need to copy and paste about
20-30 screens (scrollback buffer of 1500+ lines is used) and it seems to take
forever to mark them in the DOS-scrollback view....is there a way to set this
feature faster?
Could'nt find anything about it in Help, don't know if this is a documented
feature or even available at all.
