- CONCLIP (2.X/3.X only) (location: C:)
-
-
- NAME
- Conclip- Directs console device to use the clipboard
- for cutting-and-pasting.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- CONCLIP [UNIT clipnum] [OFF]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- By default, the Amiga's console device only uses its
- own internal buffer for copying and pasting. This command
- directs the console device to use the clipboard for its
- copying and pasting.
-
- Copy-and-Paste lets you copy a block of text from a
- console window by drag-selecting it with the mouse then
- pressing RightAmiga-C. You can then paste this into
- another console window by activating that console and
- pressing the RightAMiga- V.
-
- Conclip not only lets you paste into other consoles
- but also into the window of any other application which
- supports the clipboard.
-
- It's an extremely good idea to make sure it is in
- your Startup-Sequence. This way, you will not have to
- worry about it.
-
- Note: Conclip requires the iffparse.library to be in
- your LIBS: drawer and the clipboard.device file to be in
- your DEVS: drawer.
-
- KEYWORDS
- UNIT
- Lets you specify the device unit number from 0 to
- 255. This designates the clipboard device number you
- wish to paste to. You do not have to add the word 'UNIT',
- you can merely specify the number.
-
- OFF
- Lets you turn off the clipboard device for that
- console. There is really no need to do this as it will
- never effect the operation of anything else.
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- 1. To direct the console to use the clipboard to
- copy-and-paste:
-
- Conclip
-
- 2. To change the clipboard unit number used by the
- console device to unit 3:
-
- Conclip 3
-
- (By the way, the console device is utilized to accept
- keyboard and mouse strokes and print them to the screen.
- The output goes to a console window. The CLI has its very
- own console window.)
