HTC Android

Hi

I'm new to smart phones but v impressed so far. Got an HTC Desire on Orange. Anyway is there anyway to Cut/Copy & Paste.
I'm trying to find a way of importing my WiFi WPA key. 63 characters and I'll definitely make a mistake if I try and type it in by hand.
I'm hoping I can put it in a file, USB it across and paste it into the WPA WiFi window.

Can do?
Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc

    Sorry it's time to ban you.

    However and easier solution would be if you have a gmail account, email yourself the password, open the email on your phone, click Menu, select text, select it all and it gets copied to the clipboard. then paste when entering the key (which I haven't tried but I assume its possible)

    lol, I knew it wasn't far off! I thought I'd never get there when I first posted that signature.
    Anyway, I sussed the Cut n Paste thing thanks.

    Go on then, another quick Q. What's the easiest way to copy contacts across from the old sim (not 3g) to this phone / sim.

    Cheers
