I'm used to using putty in SUN and was able to highlight and right

  Use 'xterm' or 'rxvt' as terminals instead of the standard dos-shell
console and you'll get the same behaviour.


Except that it's middle click for paste.

Ah, if it's not X-like behaviour that he's after then I guess what Kevin wants is indeed a DOS console with "Quick Edit" mode turned on in the properties then.

How many buttons does a SUN mouse have, anyway? ;-)

Boy you guys are great at helping out the new guy! I was just tired of fighting with the DOS windows my fat finger typing was causing me to much :-@. Putty is what I'm used to so it is working great!
