But you could always split the viewer and select arbitrary long text
by starting the selection in the first viewer and ending it in a
different part of the document in the second viewer.

As Peter Easthope pointed out, the finer details are that:
Old method needed sweep TopViewer till bottom, and sweep lower Viewer
from from top. Which works with ALO now.
Since I've got rPi:ALO connected via HDMI to the same display as
X86:LEO via VGA, and they both have the same look and feel, I can
easily forget who I'm talking to, when I come back after a few hours absence.
Thanks,

PS. the following belongs to the <functional composition> thread;--
I've been thinking how to show the marvels of *nix piping to some
non-*nix users, via this exercise:
Why is this LEO [aka Linux-based ETH Oberon] hanging?
Show me the pid/s of all LEO = pgrep beron
Show me the latest one started = pgrep beron | tail -1
Show me which files it has open = lsof | grep `pgrep beron |tail -1`
!!Wow!!
There a big problem. Right now, by test/pasteing that cmd, it shows:
.. IPv4 391647 TCP 10.208.223.203:41160->78.46.70.116:nntp (ESTABLISHED)
But I've been off-line for 10 hours.
