Hey X&Y,
Another little hint for the "pasting" part, is to type in a set
of
"angle brackets", like this at the spot you wish to
paste in
the "link" or URL. Then when you have highlighted the link you
wish
to paste in, and done the CTRL-C, and go to the page for
pasting, you
put the cursor in between those two angle brackets before you
hit
CTRL-V, so that the "link" ends up written between the
brackets. This
allows you to put in really long links and then most other
people you
send this to can "double-pick" it and have it go to that site
immediately.
For instance, lets say I was looking at an Ebay page, and
wanted to
send the URL for a milling machine to you. If I just "paste
in"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=3825557 252
it may get broken by some email readers to look like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&category=58254&item=3825557252
and would be no good without further effort on your part.
But, if I type in the first, then place the cursor
between them
before CTRL-V, we get
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...gory=58254&ite
m=3825557252
and most peoples programs can understand to keep all between
the
brackets as "one thing". A better example (longer URL) might
be
http://www.bevlisting.com/board.php?...a920c0 35ca15
versus
http://www.bevlisting.com/board.php?...7b74aa7b4dddcf

Take care.
