- We need to set up a scenario which emulates the text-cutting features of
- DDE-style applications. i.e. we need to grab areas of text from a window and
- use this as input to another process.
-
- Now, ideally, I'd like to be able to use a standard shelltool or commandtool
- (or even xterm), and grab information from these windows.
-
- Any pointers would be appreciated. Perhaps the use of Sun's CCIMM data
- exchange protocol(??).
-
- Regards
-
- Stuart.
