using the clipboard

[Rick Pasotto <rick@niof.net>]

I have a text file of about 100 lines (more than will display on one
screen of less or vi). How can I get the entire file into the clipboard
so I can then do a single paste to get it into a web text box? I know I
can do it in sections but pasting uses the scroll wheel and the scroll
wheel wants to scroll so the text frequently ends up getting inserted in
the wrong place.

Things work fine in the other direction since a browser window will
scroll automatically when the mouse pointer reaches the bottom or top of
the window.
