Hi Ken you will enjoy cut and paste. (see "summery" if you can't stand reading all this!) (its "just in case" cause I know you are busy) think of your mouse as a seperate "memory container" point it to the beginning of what words you would like to duplicate/copy to somewhere else and: [press and HOLD the "left" mouse clicker] now as you drag the mouse across a few words, or down the entire page, the words you want will be turning a different colour. You can try that right here and now! When your release the left clicker, the words you chose will remain (in my case) blue. Does that happen on your screen? Once you have blue (selected) words, poke the "EDIT" FUNCTION on the top on your netscape screen. it gives you a menu. At least "copy" will be available (because you can't remove or put words on the silicon investor screen, but copy? Yes!) Now press "copy" in the (netscape edit menu) and you have "copied" the coloured words into your "mouse memory". they will stay there doing nothing for hours. You can now bring up an empty note pad, or one that has some writing already on it, or some e-mail you want to finish, or your special word processing program, or even the Silicon Investor window to make an entry. Having done that, the trick is to make sure the blinking cursor is where you want the words to be placed. Then push the right mouse button and you will get another menu. If all is well, you will be able to push "paste" and the words will be placed where the cursor is. (copy job complete!!) Summery: 1) select something (dragging your pointer across it) (left mouse button down) (then release) 2) go to edit menu (above), select "copy" (to erase choose "cut" but it still stays in your mouse!) 3) aim/position cursor where you want to put the words 4) Right mouse click for menu 5) choose "paste" (sometimes word processors require you to still be pointing right where the words are supposed to go, but with the rest, it dosn't matter. the words go where you last put the cursor. My favorite is to bring up note pad (push start, go to programs, then accessories, than notepad, and select notepad.) Then I make the note pad smaller so I can see both, or just toggel between the two screens with the minimise button on the upper right of the notepad screen (the minus symbol) and then bring it up when needed from the bottom of the screen by poking its symbol there. once done in notepad I "SELECT ALL" deposit it in my word processor (if i want) for a spellcheck. then once more "select all" then I stick it on Silicon Investor or in an e-mail. oh boy, did i make a long one of that! should help in the paperwork though! i'm afraid i'll have to move later. oh oh. Your Marge likes the phone, Hmmmmm.... Can you get a computer to run with a CB??? -g- your friend Dave Glad your Marge is home. Happy Easter. (Actually this would be fun even if we only moved once every 2 weeks!)

If you reconstructed when going back to the Simpsons, perhaps my board is wrong and your Simpsons are right can't get your N to move to your B3 with my crazy board! (I'll try reconstruction) Dave

Ken, here is what I figured out to be our moves but it was confusing! I wonder if in the pieces getting jostled you have been getting the short end of the stick and are being kind. (cause I have always thought you were beating the pants off me!) We can back up (to where any confusion is erased from the game) and continue from there. I'm afraid lots of it is from my inexperience in writing down moves that could be taken two ways and such! w b p-k4 p-k4 n-kb3 n-qb3 p-qb3 p-q3 p-q4 pxp nxp q-k2 p-kb3 p-kb4 q-r4 pxp b-k2 p-k6 nxn b-q2 nxq bxq nxn p-qb4 b-qb4 0-0 bxp p-q4 b-kn5 r-k1 b-k2 b-qn4 p-qb4 bxp n-b3 p-q5 n-k4 p-q6 n-k7 bxn bxb rxb n-q6 CHECK! k-qb2 nxb rxb (check)(which i did not mention) k-q1 r-k1 (the kr in the corner) r-qb1 rxp (kn2)<--(kn7!)(my mistake) r-k1 rxr (forgot "check") kxr rxp (at your KR2)post # 779 (still can't make your "N-B3" move from this) Below is what I got the moves from and if it felt like this to you .....I understand!!! Would you like to go back to a point where the confusion is removed? (I feel guilty!) Who knows, you may have given me the benefit of the doubt 12 or more moves back! I will beg your mercy and for you to be the "judge" how far to go back. .....hey!! ......sort of a promotion! ...(these years as a Lawyer ARE paying off!) -g- w b p-k4 p-k4 n-kb3 n-qb3 p-qb3 p-q3 p-q4 pxp nxp q-k2 p-kb3 p-kb4 q-r4 pxp b-k2 p-k6 nxn b-q2 nxq bxq nxn p-qb4 b-qb4 0-0 bxp p-q4 b-kn5 r-k1 b-k2 b-qn4 p-qb4 bxp n-b3 p-q5 n-k4 p-q6 n-k7 bxn bxb rxb n-q6 CHECK! k-qb2 709 nxb rxb (ch) 715 716 k-q1 728 r-k1(the kr in the corner729) x(r-q1)717 r-qb1 733 rxp (kn2)<--(kn7!)734* r-k1 736 rxr 738 (forgot "check")745 (749cleaning party!)
