Assuming you are using Windows 95 or 98 and Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer, here's what you do:

• highlight the section you want to copy - put your mouse cursor at the beginning of the section, and click and hold the left mouse button. Then, holding the button, move the cursor to the end of the section, and release your mouse button. All the text you've selected should have changed color, usually to blue.
• Next, copy the test - move your mouse cursor so it's ove the highlighted area, and click and hold your right mouse button. A menu will pop up, and you should select "copy" from the menu. The menu will disappear, and the information will be copied into your computer's memory (clipboard), and stay there until you copy something else.
• Finally, paste the information wherever you want to put it - into a Mudcat message box, a word processing document, or an e-mail message you're writing. To paste, move your mouse cursor to the place where you want to put the information. then, click on your right mouse button again and select "paste" from the menu. That should do the trick for you.

I often like to use keyboard shortcuts instead of using my mouse to find things from menus. Here are some handy shortcuts:

• CTRL-C - Copy
• CTRL-V - Paste
• CTRL-X - Cut
• CTRL-S - Save
• CTRL-N - Open New Browser Window
• CTRL-Z - Undo whatever you did last

Hope that helps.
