Dear R-gurus,

a friend of mine sent this message yesterday to the grass-list,
but as she is not sure if you received it, I am just
forwarding.

Cheers

To: grass-user@lists.osgeo.org

Dear GRASS Users,

I am new to GRASS and have installed the following version: WinGRASS-6.4.0RC6-1 2010
I am using the wxPython GUI and a MSYS UNIX terminal on Windows XP professional 32-bit machine.

After I first installed GRASS, I ran some functions in part by cutting and pasting from a script using a text editor. The second time that I opened a new GRASS session, I was (and continue to be) unable to cut and paste using the standard keys on a PC: CTRL-X, -C, -V. The problem is not present in other programs where these CTRL functions generally work. I can type commands within the GRASS command line window and the commands are run, however if I attempt to copy and paste from a text editor to the GRASS command line the following results:

“GRASS 6.4> ^V”

I would greatly appreciate any help.

if I attempt to copy and paste from a text editor to the GRASS
command line the following results:

"GRASS 6.4> ^V"

I've found this also (but all the time (in Ubuntu)).
Either:
Shift+Ctrl+C or V (check keyboard shortcuts, this solution is for the shell in
Ubuntu)
or
mouse right-click and paste (a solution with DOS too).

Hope that helps. As it's the windows version there maybe some difference and
someone using that version can help.
