Jim,
What I was looking for was how to "copy" from a gui program (i.e. some 
pearls of wisdome I read on the mailing list) and past said text into
another editor (other than OOWriter which does accept CTL-V.) Rick
provided me with the needed info and the vital addition that I recieved
from Mark Sobell (of who's book I'm a great admirer: thank you Mark for
both the book and the recent warning about "beep mode!") will keep me
out of the beep mode trap which I would probably surely have fallen
into (although I'd have probably figured out the problem.)
I already know about the vim delete,yank, put ways of doing
delete,copy, paste.
Thanks for your input.
