Thanks both of you, and I couldn't agree more! Not sure why there is a
need to take something is that is simple and worked great for years
and then muck it up with window-isms. And shame on google for screwing
up the same.

The terminal menu thing seems to work, but what a bunch of extra
effort, just for pasting.

Thanks, again.
