Go to the web site, sign in to the member's area and try that with the
members by name roster. <G>

The copy command (under edit) is grayed out and the keyboard ^C is also
disabled. I done been tryin' to tell ya! It just don't work. The text select
tool is *there*, it has just been disabled, apparently, for any useful
functions.

I'm also using Windoze 98 on a Compaq 533, and I don't think Acrobat Reader
5 is all that different from your 4. [It just fixed some nasty design flaws,
I think.]
