Could you be a little more specific in what your wanting to do?

Depends on what app you are in. If you want to delete files in Windows Explorer, hold down the "Ctrl" key then click on each file you want to delete; you will end up with a bunch of files highlighted (they do not have to be contiguous). When you hit "Del", they will be deleted en-mass.

In addition to using <ctrl> for selecting individual records, you can select the first record then click the last record in the selection set while holding down <Shift>; this selects everything in between the two records you selected.

sorry about not being to clear, many times I want to save information in posts. I paint and save to my docs, what I get is the info, at least twice and a bunch of formating, the trick was, put the curser just at the top of the info, and a couple clicks got rid of every thing above it, same at the bottom of the info. takes quite a while to paint thru it all, think it had to do with the home and end keys.
caddemannq this is what I have been doing, but it takes forever to scroll thru it all, this thing was quick.
