Oh crap, I cannot copy and paste with slrn in a term window! Why not?

Guessing it is that wonderful putty interface.
Middle button press should paste.

No. I was physically at the machine in xwindows. I ran slrn in a term
window. The problem was that I could not highlight anything with the
mouse in slrn while it was in the term window. If I would try, it would
create an slrn command and you would see it show at the bottom of the
term window, asking if you wanted to do this. Nothing in slrn would
highlight with the mouse while it ran in an slrn term window. Let me see
if I can screencap it for you, hang on a minute...

Yeah, here is a picture for ya.

Man, that gnome screenshot applet is neat-O, see it as the camera icon on
the bar at the top of the bar? It lets you take a screenshot and will
save it right to your public_html directory, ready to publish if you
want. See slrn running in the term window? If I put the mouse anywhere on
that window, I cannot copy or highlight anything with it. Clicking the
mouse makes it go to another article. Right clicking brings up a standard
term context menu, not much good if nothing is highlighted and I cannot
click to highlight or I end up at another article. You can see my x-face
in the screencap too, I remember working with Blinky and Sinner in the
newsreader newsgroup to get that to work. Oh, you can see the xconsole at
the top, showing the syslog in real time. Pretty neat, huh? Thanks for
that one bit. :)

Wow, I really cannot do it. I will copy and paste into a text file,
samba it over, open it, and then copy and paste. There has to be a
better way!

I bought a IOGEAR, 4 port PS2 desktop switcher to toggle between
systems if I cannot do a ssh/rlogin into one of my systems.
Does not even need a wall wart powersupply. :)
Downside an old system using the old mouse/keyboard plugs will not
work.

I am good with two computers right next to each other, I like having
separate systems with their own individual keyboards, monitors, and mice.
I share the XP printer with Linux via samba.

Ugh. I got an xconsole alright, "Couldn't open /var/log/messages".

YUP, on Mandriva, I changed the permissions to 644 and had to tell
the Mandriva Security subsystem to quit changing it back to 400 on the
hour.

Man I just posted a question about that. I changed the permissions too on
mine...

I went from this:
-rw------- 1 root root 432K Sep 24 16:17 messages

To this:
-rw-rw---- 1 root ohmster 432K Sep 24 16:17 messages

How do I make the system not change back the permissions on this file
with Fedora Core 3 if you know? You might not if you do not have a Fedora
system. What might be a good place to look for this?

This Envision monitor will do 1200x1600 nicely but the fonts are so
darned small that I cannot use it like that.

Bitch, bitch, bitch. :-)
Does this help
xconsole -fn 10x20 -file /var/log/messages &

I dunno, let's see...

....yeah, that made it bigger alright, I will have to experiment with it a
bit more. Thanks.

Want a different font?? xlsfonts might give a few selections.

Gotta love that X11R6-contrib rpm.


Will check out the fonts later, there is a movie on HBO right now that
might be good...

(I just love that MSN TV listings web site, tv.msn.com. So much better
than that sadomasochistic tvguide.com.)

Going to unwind a bit and watch the movie. I told my mom about it so she
is watching it too, we just had a nice dinner of Cajun rice with
pineapple and shrimp, salad, and coffee with a fruit salad for desert,
all topped off with a relaxing movie. We can chat about it tomorrow, she
went home to be able to watch the movie from the beginning rather than
stay for coffee and have to watch the movie in the middle. Better for her
to just take the fruit salad home and brew her own coffee so that she can
get undressed, relax, and watch the movie at home from the beginning.

'nite bit twister and thanks for all of the weekend help.
