Putty is my friend. With an edit window on my local system and a putty shell into my target I then 'less' the script file. Using the left mouse button, click-and-drag over the text of interest in the putty/less (putty/cat makes no difference). This highlights text of interest. In the edit window, start an insert/append, and left-click. This pastes. Very volatile copy clipboard: merely clicking from window to window, so even one character (even an EOL character) is black (reverse video) changes what's in the clipboard. It's a bit of an art. Also, from the putty shell, on the remote, scp script/file/path MyHost:/path/name should give you a copy you can then locally edit/copy/paste. Permissions may have you pulling your hair...

I am correcting these problems thru "Putty" as the servers are based at a Data Center in the US. If you can tell me how to cut and paste with this program then I can give what is required. I am not much of a typist so the mistakes in spelling are my typos. > Another contributor asked whether you were cutting & pasting from the actual script file, there is a reason for doing so... if your script files have this typo, the problem might be trivial to solve. If they don't have this typo, they might have a different one... Let me assure you they are my typos mistakes > Glad the first system sobered up so nicely!
