It |> is very frustrating to make multiple deletes. Try: 1. Begin the selection with Button 1, but keep the button pressed. If you drag this over the frame of the window (I assume that this is a PM app), the text will scroll up and the selection continued. or 2. Place cursor where you want the text selection to start. Using the scroll bars, move to where you want the selection to end. Press Shift-Button 1 to make the selection. I use method one for short selections and 2 for the large deletes. However, it would be nice to be able to copy using Button 3. simon
