I'm not very good at this. kind of related I'm having difficulty copy and pasting. If on windows [sorry] and in putty session for Debian no gui vi, if highlight text with mouse then it is automatically saved to windows clipboard for pasting but then in putty cannot scroll past bottom of screen. If set marks and then yank to other mark text is yanked but is not in windows clipboard buffer for pasting. In visual mode I can highlight all text with go to mark but that is not in windows buffer either. I tried all different commands to try to get text into windows buffer but nothing seems to work. mick -- Key ID 4BFEBB31
