zuesko,

You have to highlight the text in the terminal window and then click the left mouse button to 'copy' it. THEN go to the other app and 'paste' it using the simulated third mouse button. This might explain it better: http://maven.smith.edu/~vvouille/353b/linux.html#7.%20Copy Look at the Copy/Paste section.

Good luck

The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "

guys,
none of that worked, however using Ted and the edit menu I have managed to save a file.
As I said the most I know about Linux it is an O/s. So now I am off to install forum with my bigger problems.
No I am not yes I can save the file to /ramdisk/home/dsl
and I can mount the floppy fd0 but how do I copy the file to the floppy? I cannot post from the laptop(no net connection another issue). That's why I have attempted to copy the information.

Thanks again

if you just type
mount /dev/fd0
it mounts it to /mnt/auto/floppy.
You then copy what you need there, like
cp -vi file1 file2 /mnt/auto/floppy

after that remeber to
sudo umount /dev/fd0

or you will get a corrupted floppy
