EV> Not CTRL C. EV> Just Pressing and releasing one of the CTRL keys does it for me EV> on the XP box You forgot I'm using Ubuntu (Linux) and you're using XP (Windows). And then I checked on my Virtual XP machine (the one I'm using currently) and 'nano' is not installed. I don't know if was an option. EV> Hope what you learned from using CTRL C helps you keep track of EV> where the EV> Cursor is AND keeps you out of trouble Now that second part is asking a lot! EV> There are some 'features' in this Android phone that I find hard EV> to adjust to. EV> IT remembering what was on the last web page when I exited the EV> Firefox EV> browser.i.e. When I click the Weather bookmark in Firefox IT EV> loads the last EV> weatherdata from the last time I looked at that. EV> I hafta press the 3 vertical dots and tap the circle to refresh EV> the page to EV> get the the current report. IRC in Firefox's Settings (probably the Browsing section though I didn't see what I was looking for) is an option to open the last site you were looking at. ...Seems like that should referesh your data so you might see the old data for a half-second while the new data is being downloaded. EV> I am slowly adjusting to what IT expects of me to do. The machines are training the humans! EV> First C=64, then 486DX33, XP and Vista and now this THING tries EV> to keep Me EV> humble. EV> But I still turn those things on when I want them to abuse Me. Like having a friend with an annoying habit: there are enough positives to override the negatives. EV> So much to learn since 1984..
