George and Lee have offered some good suggestions but I think they miss 
the mark for this case.  I have attempted them both with the Mozilla 
"View-->Page Info-->Links" screen that Craig is talking about.  That 
screen does not, appearently, place data on the clipboard by any of the 
usual methods.  I see three possible solutions for Craig, none of which 
are direct solutions:

1-The Mozilla developers add an export function or clipboard support to 
this list window.  That would be the "real" fix.

2-A "screen OCR" program like Craig refers to is found and functional. 
I have not looked for one.  Does anybody know of one?

3-A program that parses links out of a given web page be found or 
written.  I have not looked for this either.  Does anybody know of one? 
  Shouldn't be too hard to write for you perl/awk/web gurus out there.

The selection methods already suggested will not work on this Mozilla 
Page Info dialog.
