Has anyone been able to cut and paste with pathetic writer? The interface is pleasant, but how can you have a word processor with no copy, cut, or paste? The fonts seem to work well. I couldn't find documentation on import/export and other menu choices. Is this a useable app at all? I think without Ted there is no word processor in 0.8.4. No problem really as someone was nice enough to make a dsl for Ted. It would be good to have the latest Ted, though, if there are no new complications in it. Thanks.

I don't know anything about pathetic, but I can take a guess....
have you tried selecting the text to copy and then middle-click to paste?

Hi, thanks. Yes, I can mark and then paste using the third button, but the menu choices for cut, etc. don't work for me. I guess it's usable. The delete key works (one character at a time). But it's nice to delete a highlighted block of text or cut and paste it.

if it really lack this features, then it deserves to be dumped our of dsl. but I hardly think that john and robert and the rest of the team have decided to put in pathetic writer without giving it a try.
these are basic features, I'm pretty sure there must be a way to get them working..

That's what I thought--bound to work somehow. Surely copy, cut, and paste worked when the guy wrote it originally. Has anybody been able to use these menu choices?
