Silly me, no. I first thought to try highlighting 
the text in KDE, clicking on COPY in KDE and looking for 
PASTE to un-grey in Communicator. You know, like the 
simple, normal, multi-platform GUI way? Like in Windows, 
(if memory serves) and even my twelve-year-old Amiga.

Then it dawned on me that just because the ap has this 
button that says "copy" or "paste" doesn't mean that I 
can actually copy or paste with it. Those were just for 
decoration. Silly me.

Then, just for grins, I next tried CTRL-C/V and when that 
didn't work I next tried ALT-C/V. 

But of course, none of those are suitable either. Nothing 
is ever suitable until I have gone out and spent another 
fifty dollars on yet another Unix book or read twenty 
pages from half a dozen docs on the web.
 
Alas and alak,

Gan
