                    Without "X" I can simply highlight some text and
                    button-2 puts it on the command line, neither
                    shift-insert nor the middle button works for that?

                    Curiously I simply upgraded a couple of other
                    computers from FC5 to 6 and did not have that
                    problem but this is a "clean" install, I even did
                    away with a vestigial Windows 98 install and picked
                    up 2 gigs more Linux space.   Anyway that leads me
                    to believe that there's some application I haven't
                    installed?

                    It also has some strange printing problems but
                    that's another topic.

                    Tnx.
