Actually, quite a few times I have found myself pasting the result of a query from one Telnet screen into SQLPlus running on another Telnet screen !! {yes, even with Character-mode Telnet, I use Copy-Paste} Fortunately, never has the output included a line "DELETE * FROM MYTABLE" ! I __try__ to adopt the discipline of first pasting into Notepad to verify the contents of the buffer before I paste into an SQLPlus screen. You're right. "cut'n'paste" or "copy'n'paste" can be very dangerous.
