PCWorks: Re: Stubborn icons in the System Tray

Harold:
        Do you really recopy the replies that you quote?
I suspect so because you misspelled "plugged"  
where I was quoted below.

You can copy the item to be quoted by sweeping over
it with the left mouse button depressed.  Then hit 
control-"C'.  Position the mouse cursor where you
want
the quote to appear in your message and with 
no buttons depressed, hit control-"V".   

If you do not like using the keyboard, you can 
find "copy" and "paste" with the
right mouse button.
