Jerard:

First of all, it's "David".

Now, you're probably going to kick my ass for asking this, since you "... *live* with select, cut and paste!". Nonetheless, have you tried highlighting the block of text, typing CTRL-C, hopping over to a word processor or text editor, and typing CTRL-V? Maybe your browser won;t allow CC&P, but Win3.x certainly ought to.

My most humble and sincere apologies if I am once again stating the obvious. (My next suggestion is going to be to get a real browser (and OS)). <vvbg>

Cut, Copy, & Paste are functions of Windows. Therefore, they can be used anywhere in Windows. That includes all versions of Windows. If you don't have a Word Processor, try Notepad. It is under 'Main'.

CTRL + X = Cut
CTRL + C = Copy (Nothing happens when you press CTRL + C, but when you hit CTRL + V, your text will magicly appear)
CTRL + V = Paste

Just hold the CTRL key and at the same time press X, C, or V as appropriate.

Either that or you can cheat like I do. I type all long messages in my word processor (Word 97). Then I check for mis-spellings. Then I highlight all the text and press CTRL + C. Then I open the response window on SI and click in the window and press CRTL + V.

Give it a try and let us know how it works out. If you have any questions, feel free to Private Message me..
