Very good.

Yes.  The Workshop and Learning Guide are designed for the user to be able
to copy and paste the commands listed into the McIDAS Text and Command window.

Hmm... The highlighting and pasting is designed to be mouse-based.  The
keyboard is not involved in this process.

Please try highlighting a command from the Workshop or Learning Guide and
then pasting it into the McIDAS Text and Command window and let me know
if this does not work for you.

Cheers,

Tom
