So if you right click then click paste, it doesn't paste. or SHIFT+INSERT doesn't work??

Right-click in the Terminal and click Paste. Does that not work?

Thank you so very much for all of the help, never did fix my problem and since went back to Zenmini. Thank you again and I will not hesitate to use your wealth of knowledge in the future, and hope to be smart enough to help. I am learning more by the day, but with a loooong way to go. Thank you again.
