- This macro gets a filename, reads it into the clipboard and inserts
- it into FC/FW.
-
- I've been annoyed the FC (and FW too) does not have the simple little
- "Insert File" function that every other WPro I've ever used had.
- I found a Macro on Aminet that would insert an ascii of FC/FW file,
- but it seemed rather inelegant in that it had to open another window
- to do it.
-
- So I dug around in my rexxlib docs until I found the writeclip function
- in rexxutil.lib. After I found that it was a simple matter to knock this
- together.
-
- It does the same as the other macro (Insert_Ascii.rexx, I believe) but it
- doesn't have to open another doc, mark, cut, close, paste, it just presents
- a filerequester, reads the file into the clipboard, then pastes it at the
- current cursor position in the selected doc. A lot quieter.
-
- Installation:
-
- Copy rexxutil.library into your Libs: directory.
-
- Copy Insert_Text_Clip.rexx into your FW/FC macros directory.
-
- Either assign it to a button or a menu item or whatever.
-
- Postition the cursor where you want to inset the text, hit the button(or
- select the menu item), select your filename, hit insert or return.
-
- Happy writing.
