<br>
What I do is...<br>
<br>
redirect to a temp.file<br>
<br>
grep|cat some.thing > temp.file<br>
<br>
Then I go to Applications/Accesories/text.editor<br>
<br>

temp.file > clipboard, use clipboard and be done with it.<br><br>since everything is a file in *nix, im guessing the issue here is to just figure out where the clipboard file is in xubuntu. but ive seen some mention of a clipboard daemon in gnome or something...dunno how things work in xubuntu...
