Thanks!
OK, the edit--> paste works.
The alt-enter expands to full screen, but like a magnifying
glass. Same number of lines. Of course what you'd like
is a full 60 or so lines.
The enter--> menu has a greyed-out "copy" -- seems to be
now way to "blue out" (via sweeping the mouse) an area
within that window *to* "copy". What's the trick for
this one?
Thanks much!
Question: your use here is separate from using emacs,
yes?
