Actually, if you post a link and it's not blue, it's sure proof that it's a good link. Recently-visited links that are in your browser's "history" turn a color that looks like olive drab to me (what color IS it? I'm partly color blind).

OK - Copy-Paste

• Highlight (or "select") the text you want to work with in one of two ways:
  
  
  • Put the cursor at the beginning of the section, hold down the shift key, and use arrows or direction keys to move the cursor to the end of the section - the highlighted text should change color.
    
  • Use your mouse to move the arrow to the start of the section, hold down the LEFT mouse button, and move the mouse to the end of the section and release the button - again, the highlighted text should change color.
  
  
• Copy the highlighted text by clicking on the highlighted area with your right button and selecting "copy" from the menu that pops up (or use the keyboard shortcut [CTRL-C] to copy the highlighted text.
  
• Paste the text by putting the cursor wher you want to put the text, then right-click and choose "paste" or use the keyboard shortcut [CTRL-V] (the "v" is supposed to look like a printer's caret, showing where text is to be inserted)

Here's a link for you to practice copy-pasting with. Highlight it, Copy [CTRL-C] it, and Paste [CTRL-V] it in the reply box below - and then submit the message. If you did it right, it should link to the Mudcat Home Page. I'll delete your practice messages.
