- COPYING TEXT
- ============
-
- This feature allows you to copy and set aside
- portions of files - or entire files! It is
- especially useful for collecting small bits of
- information from different parts of a hypertext
- network into one place. The information gathered
- can be later inserted into the text of a paper,
- report, or other project, or put into a database or
- spreadsheet, etc.
-
- STEPS
- =====
-
- 1) Press either the "+" or "-" keys <FILE022 2 4>.
- A "highlight bar" appears. Continue pressing either
- the "+" or "-" key until you reach the first line
- of the text that you want to copy.
-
- 2) Press the F5 key to turn on the block mark
- highlight. Use arrow keys or other screen movement
- keys <FILE021> to highlight as much of the text as
- you want to copy.
-
- 3) When done with step #2 above, you will notice
- that the bottom line of the screen gives you the
- choice to append ("A") or to overwrite ("O") the
- clip.txt file. Hence, press either "O" or "A" to
- copy what you block marked. The marked text will go
- to the "Clipboard" file called: CLIP.TXT.
-
- 4) You can now use the DOS copy command to copy the
- clip.txt file of the items you copied to another
- file or file name. You can load the file into a
- word processor, spreadsheet program, or database
- program. <FILE02F 1 18 DOS MODE>
-
- 5) To see what you have in this file, access it
- here: <CLIP.TXT> You can always access this file
- from the help screen by pressing the [F1] key also.
-
- -- See <FILE030> for making "bookmarks" to files.
