Hi Don,

Nothing to learn!

All you have to do is:

1). at any command-line, run "e  "
       [e.exe will open up with the file contents visible]
2). press "CTRL-SHIFT-END" to select everything
3). then "CTRL-INSERT" to put the contents into the OS/2-eCS clipboard

- you don't have to do your editing with it!!
