Could anyone Please describe step by step,
how post Links when I answer a post to newsgroups
without typing them. I was told it is a piece of cake,
cut & paste. My cut & paste icons on the tool bar are
greyed out. I am old but new with computers.

I use Windows XP home, with OE 6 & Internet exp.

Thanks in Advance. x@y.


And, if those links are really looooooong, like if you've
gotten to a
page after you've dug down to that item you needed to locate at
Home
Depot or something like that, do the highlite/Control-C thing
on it and
then use your browser to go to:

http://www.tinyurl.com

Where you then paste (Control-V) it into the box, Hit "Make
Tiny URL"
and receive a much shorter URL like:

http://tinyurl.com/4x3sl

(Which happens to be my own home page. At my age, it's much
easier for
me to remember or correctly write down "4x3sl" than the actual
URL;
click the link above and see what I mean.)

That "TinyURL" thing avoids the problems which occur if the URL
is too
long to fit on one line in a message, in which case clicking on
it in
some browsers doesn't produce the intended results.

Just my .02,

Jeff
