[orca-list] copying files

[Michael Weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

I have some documents which I want to copy from a USB stick to my home 
folder.

I went to the USB stick, I managed to select the files after changing 
the settings in file manager to list view, the standard select all and 
copy keys worked.

I went to my home folder, wemt to the documents folder, did a cursor 
right and did the CTRL V or pulled down the menu to do the appropriate 
commands and.

I went back to my desktop, opened the documents folder and the folder 
was empty.

I eventually located the files only they seemed to have been pasted in 
the wrong place instead of them being sent to the Documents folder so i 
deleted them in case I ended up with duplicate files everywhere.

What am I doing wrong.

I am sure I heard on a Podcast that copying text or something and 
pasting it was slightly different in Linux than it is on a mac or in 
Windows wso I am wondering if the proceedure for copying files from a 
USB Stick to the documents folder in Home is different in Linux maybe 
which might explain my files being place in the wrong place.

I only found them by pressing ALT F1 and discovering they were just 
added to the list of apps and not my documents folder.
