Question Regarding Navigating the Buffer

Hi, Everyone,

I have a quick question with respect to navigating screens buffer. 
Basically I work with embedded systems and often have to block and copy 
more than a single screens worth of text to the buffer to attach to 
tickets or send to customers, etc.  I'd like to be able to copy and paste 
this text using the screen's native capabilities.

My problem is that when I enter the buffer and type "g" to go to the top, 
it actually goes to the top of the buffer, not to the first non-whitespace 
character in the buffer".  I basically want to copy the entire buffer 
starting with the first non-whitespace character.  Is there a way to 
navigate to the first non-whitespace character in the buffer, or am I best 
just copying the entire buffer and figuring out how to strip out the 
leading whitespace later?

Thanks,

Dan
