I thought some in this archive might be interested in seeing the e-mail that Dr. Spector wrote me concerning my upcoming surgery (see personal histories). I used "copy" to place a copy of the e-mail on the clipboard. However,when I tried to paste it into a message on this board, nothing happened. Am I doing something wrong? (Yes, I am barely computer literate.):(

It should work Andrew. Here are a couple of tips (if you are using Windows)

1. Make sure you have actually copied the text I know it sounds silly but I have done this before.

2. When you click into the box where you want to paste the text, either right click and select 'paste' from the pop up menu or;

3. Hold down the [ctrl] key and press [v] at the same time - the keyboard command for 'paste'

([ctrl] + [c] is the keyboard command for copy, by the way)

I have gotten so busy that I am referring you to an associate, Dr. Kimmel,

an experienced urologic surgeon. Go to his office

at 2301 Pennsylvania Ave at 10AM, January 18. He knows what you want and

his charge is $1200. You may or may not need to return to him--that's up to

him. His phone number, if you need it, is 215 563 0847. There is a nice

Best Western

Hotel one block away; 501 N. 12th St, phone 215 568 8300. Get their

reservation first. I may be out of town about that time, but I will be

available by the same e-mail. Regards from Jeff and me

OK!!!!! It was that right-click and paste that worked! I didn't even know that trick. I'll repost the Dovtor's e-mail in
