To enable TWCP you should:

together with the mouse to Mark and Copy, checking the

2. Click the Mark and Copy mouse button where you want to start
marking.
3. Drag the mouse, holding down button and key, till the end of the
portion of text you want to mark. Now the zone should be

operation is completed, otherwise the text program could loose the

*****************************************************************************
TWCP works installing a system hook that intercepts every mouse
message posted. If the message is directed to a DOS or OS/2 Text
Window, that has a window class of type Shield, or to a Entry Field,
#6 and #10 classes, and it is a Mark, Copy or Paste key combination,
the messages for Mark, Copy or Paste are send to the window.
Warning: Because the program relies on the class name, and there can
be other windows with class name Shield that aren't DOS or OS/2 Text
Windows, the program can fail with those windows.
The fields Class and Parent show the class name of every window in
which the mouse is clicked.
If you find a program that makes fail TWCP please let me know.
