No problem, I just tried it two different ways. I read this in a winqvt
telnet session to my linux box running tin. Cut it out windows style, pasted
it X windows style with the middle mouse button to an linux xterm client on
a MS-windows X server. And then I considered the help of bash and Linux not
quite fair opened a DOS korn shell clone in another window and pasted it
with the MS-windows window manager to the korn shell and it ran just as fine
as the unix shell. The only problem is I do not know which or my operating
systems I should consider better. I did not yet find an OS which does all
what I want from it.
And then my post ended as dead.article. Probably due to alt.sex or isu.talk
which are not carried by our NNTP server. Now it went the other way. Mark and
copy to the clipboard X windows style, paste windows style.
