Allen, I'll do one better, and just paste it here. 2003-01-27 : EV Development in China As the major auto OEMs have abandoned battery-electric vehicles in favor of hybrid-electrics and the promise of fuel cell power in the future, there has been a potentially interesting development in China. According to Just-auto.com, BYD Co., China’s largest rechargeable battery manufacturer has announced its intent to acquire majority control of the country’s sixth-largest automaker. According to company president Wang Chuan-fu, the acquisition will ‘‘expedite the development and production of rechargeable power batteries and electric motor vehicles,’’ in the Peoples Republic of China. According to Reuters, China is the fastest-growing auto market in the world, with a 19.2 percent increase from last year anticipated in car production as part of an overall 10.8 percent rise in vehicle output. Demand for vehicles is on the rise, as is the need or low-emissions vehicles to combat air pollution. For the first time, auto sales in China topped 1 million in 2002.

Then "paste" it into any post or document or whatever using the same Edit menu. I find it is easier to open another window by clicking on "new" and window on the File drop down. Then you can cut from one, and paste into the other by selecting the one that you want on the bottom task bar. The same can be done for the URL by highlighting it in the address bar and doing "cut" and "paste". It saves a lot of time and errors typing those long URLs out. BYD becoming a mass producer of EVs would indeed be good fore us as they are a licensee. Del
