Bob, Thanks for explaining the process. After highlighting the copy one can press Ctrl-B to capture the copy and use Ctrl-V to paste it somewhere. The process we've described will help members who still laboriously transfer information to their files by transcription rather that highlight-and-paste. I didn't think to add directions on the web, but you've explained it well for those who are in a learning curve. The same process applies to accessing the website URL first given with the book query: use Ctrl-B to highlight and capture the address and, placing the pointer on the address bar at the top of the server page, press Ctrl-V to paste it and then press the 'Go' arrow.
