Hi. I havn't got KDE 3.5, only 3.3, and 3.4, but for instance if I want to 
copy text from the Konsole to a text editor, I simply highlight the text on 
the konsole that I want to copy, then open the text editor, Gedit or 
whataever, and click on the 3rd  (middle) mouse button to transfer the text 
to the text editor. Nigel.
