Isn't it interesting that the Workspace Manager has a full "Edit" menu with copy/cut/paste and none of them do anything in the normal browser mode? Nor are they greyed out, as they should be if there is no text object active. I tried "Copy" when sitting on a file path that appealed to me, and it was happy to highlight the "Copy" menu, but nothing got put on the pasteboard, alas. -- Glenn Reid RightBrain Software glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us NeXT/PostScript developers ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977)
