- I spent a couple of summers working on Macs writing documentation.
- One of the most useful tools was the Mac Scrapbook, which allows you
- to store any number of 'clips' (text and graphics) and then copy any
- one to the clipboard so you can paste it into applications.
- Items were placed in the scrapbook via the normal cut'n'paste keys.
- In fact, I liked it so much that I wrote this - The Amiga
- Clipbook commodity.
-
- The Clipbook allows you to store text and graphics clips, scan through
- them and copy any of them to the standard Amiga clipboard.
- They can then be pasted into applications. To put something into
- the Clipbook you simply have to copy it from an application and paste
- it into the Clipbook.
-
- Each clip in the Clipbook is displayed if possible. At the moment
- only FTXT and ILBM clips are shown. Others can be stored but not
- displayed.
-
- This is useful for logos, 'standard' blocks of text, graphics you use
- often etc etc. If you use a particular graphics brush often then
- instead of having to load it (and remember the path!) each time you
- can simply store it in the clipboard and copy it out each time you
- need it.
-

- Can be forced to open on *any* screen. (Useful as you don't
