Neither worked for me Nils.  Firstly, in the address bar of Konqueror it 
says, http://linuxcommand.org/lts0040.php.  The page that I want to 
highlight is probably 2 pages in length.  What I would like to do is 
copy those contents into an otd or doc, reduce the size of the print to 
perhaps 8 point, and put it on my Desktop.  I will use it as a reference 
while I am learning to use the shell and memorize same.  Your first 
suggestion got the same result, as when I tried to copy and more or less 
paste, in that it pasted the url address, not the content of the page 
that I highlighted.  If I did what I normally would do to cut and paste, 
highlight text then right-click on the text, at this point rather than 
make ready the transfer of the data, it backs up to the previous 
screen.  The second suggestion did nothing that I can see.

I am in the manual pages of Konqueror, I think.  However, I think the 
manual I am looking at is located somewhere else and is not actually in 
my computer.  So I am trying to transfer information over the internet 
instead of from within my computer.  I don't know why that would make a 
difference.  If it does, please explain?  Cordially,
