I used to use something called localprt. Does that exist anymore? Maybe they could put it on the schools computer. Short of doing that, yes you can copy the text, use sftp to retrieve the text. Sftp uses the same commands as ftp, so I won't go into that option, I believe putty has an sftp client. From within putty, do alt-spacebar to go into the application menu, look for select all and copy. This will put the text in the clip board. Then it's the standard paste command from within your application. Alternatively, you can use the same procedure to paste text on to the command line of a putty session. However, make sure you aren't getting newlines where you don't want them. You may have to physically remove the newlines from the text. There also may be something in the properties of putty, under the application menu to change this permenantly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ned" <ngranic@xxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 10:49 PM Subject: copying text from putty to ... wordpad Hi all, I need to type a short article in VI text editor and then print it out using putty. Other than sending it to one of the printers connected to the school machine, is there any way I can do, kind of, copy and paste the text from the output into ... say wordpad? It's not only about this particular task, I'll be running into this issue constantly from now on. Many thanks in advance!
