- Well, I seem to remember an FKEY (I had it, but lost it when I changed
- jobs) that would allow you copy bits of text from a window. You could get
- all the text in the window or just specify a selection rectangle. It
- would put the text in the clipboard. You could only copy text actually
- visible on the screen, and you would get it the way it was drawn. So, if
- the last line was drawn first, you got the last line as the first line. I
- think it worked by making a fake update for the window, and patching(???)
- the Drawxxx calls. Anyway, I think it used to be on Sumex. I did use this
- with the old Think reference. Don't know if it works under System 7, tho.
