Hi all, I know people have said that the most reliable way to copy text
from a web page is to select all with command a, and open text edit,
and paste the contents of the page in, then select what you want to
copy, but in the case of sendspace, I want to copy the whole
notification, aka, success, the file is now uploaded, you've got a file
called, etcetera, etcetera, but I can only select a few lines of this
text, and pasting the page in to text edit, I don't see the url for the
file in question, just the part about download file, but no actual url,
though it is there on the page, and if I meerly paste the url in, which
I can copy, the receiver won't know the name of the file in question,
unless they survey all the links until they get to the one with the
file name, so, with this in mind, seeing, I have to use the other
platform to reliably do this, is there a reliable way to select and
copy chunks of text from a web page?  Thanks in advance for any
assistance, and I get this, after the file in question is uploaded, and
the page reloads, with the link with the url to the file, and I don't
see a link when I paste in to text edit.  

Marty
