I am not talking about To paste, I know there is a magic manipulation to have the Paste item in the system menu, but I can't remember what it is. Somebody here should know. The magic manipulation works as follows: Open the system menu of a text window. Press (and hold) Shift. Select Mark. Release Shift (of course). From then on, all _new_ text windows you open will have a Paste item in their system menu. This does _not_ affect the window you used to enable the Paste item. When you use the Shift/mark trick, OS/2 creates an entry called Paste under the key VioShield in the OS2.INI file. This entry will stay there forever, so do it once and forget it.
