[orca-list] a couple of basic questions

[John Covici <covici ccs covici com>]

Hi.  I have some basic questions about gnome -- using 3.30 I think.
How to get a file into the clipboard?  I tried xclip -r <filename> but
nothing happened.  I know this because control-shift-v did not paste
anything into the terminal window.

I would also like to know if there is a way to open a file with
firefox and actually type its name.  I see things to navigate, but I
just want to be able to type the name.  Can I do firefox <file name> ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
