Oops, sorry. I entered CTRL-P into my question, which is an error. 

Our problem is that CTRL-V doesn't work for pasting; complicated by the fact that the \
Java applet EDIT pulldown does NOT have a Paste option. So we can't paste strings.

Got a Windows question, just trolling for "experts" who might happen to know....

Here at the Oregon State Library, we are using Netscape Compass as a \
hierarchy/spider-index site builder. One option is that we can define search queries \
to use for automatic categorization during spidering.

The autoclassification definition or input screen uses a Java applet. We CAN'T use \
copy&paste from a regular Netscape or Windows screen, to carry over complicated \
search query statements; there is no CTRL-P paste in the Java applet. Or rather, \
pasting is dysfunctional while entering into the applet window.

Do you have any advice on how one might copy&paste into an applet? Retyping can get \
pretty tedious and is prone to error, if it's a complex query. It would be quite \
helpful if we could do so.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers,
