If you don't know how to Cut & Paste, then the easiest thing to do is type the whole name of the location you want to send someone to. yahoo.com Now I just typed that instead of cut&paste, since it is short its easy to do and it will automatically turn into a link. The system recognizes the http:// as a command

Thumper, Since many URL's or location addresses are very long it's best to learn to cut(copy) & paste. In Netscape, while looking at the page you want to reference, 1: Place the cursor in the Location: window anywhere on the address that you want to cut(copy). 2: click the left mouse button 1 time. The address should now change color to reverse video or be highlighted. This means it has been selected. 3: Move cursor to the Top of the screen, click on Edit, click on Copy (the highlighted text is now stored in the computers buffer or memory). 4: Go to SI, open up a Response window 5: Go back to the Top, Click on Edit, click on Paste the highlighted link should show up in your message window. example: messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com In Explorer , go to Netscape<ggg> jb3

" Start from the beginning please & tell me step by step." i suggest that you go to the computer learning thread. it is a great place to ask away, and everyone is very helpful there. (i have noticed the thread is not getting a lot of activity here recently, but i hope that is just due to the holidays.) the link i have provided you with takes you to someone who asks your exact question. (#reply-6820877) just follow along. good luck, mark

Thumper .. Cut & Paste can be used virtually anywhere. Let's say there is a paragraph in a word processing document, e.g. MS Word, that you want to e-mail to someone. Go to the document and place the mouse pointer at the start of where you want to copy. Then press down on the left mouse bottom - don't release it - and move or "drag" the mouse down the screen. The text should start to "highlight" or change colour as you do this. Once you've highlighted what you want to copy, stop "clicking" - release the left mouse button. Now this text is ready to be copied. Some told you to use the EDIT, COPY and then EDIT PASTE function. Here's another way to do it - one which I prefer. Once you've highlighted the required text, press the CTRL key on your keyboard and while still holding it down, press C on your keyboard. That copies the text into the computer's memory and it will stay there until you "CTRL C" something else or turn off your computer. Now the text is ready to pasted somewhere. For example, if you want to send an e-mail that includes that text, start your e-mail program, and then at the point where you'd like to include the copied text, press CTRL V (again, press the CTRL on the keyboard, press V while still holding the CTRL down). Like magic, your text should appear. You can highlight virtually any text that you see on the Net. Hope that helps.
