The Clipboard

Pressing the left mouse button while the I-type mouse cursor is visible will produce a ``rubber box'', after you have let go of the mouse button the selected text will be inverted and a small popup menu will appear:

• clicking outside the popup will cancel the operation,
• selecting the Cut item with the left mouse button will store the text in a buffer (the ``clipboard''). Doing the same with the right button will append a CR after each line,
• Add appends to the text already in the clipboard (with the same difference between left and right mouse button),
• Send sends the text directly to the host computer, without using the clipboard (same usage of left and right button).

Two commands supplement this feature, SaveClip and Insert which are available via the main popup menu:

• SaveClip allows you to save the contents of the clipboard to a file, CR's are mapped to CRLF.
• Insert sends the contents of the clipboard to the host computer.

Additional operations on the clipboard are possible with seperate programs, the clipboard can be accessed via the parameter block, example programs and documentation should be available with this manual.
