- Cut/Paste 4.0
-
- The CutPaste utility is a resident (install at bootup) utility. It is
- quite small, using less than 6K of memory. With cut/paste anything
- which appears on the screen may be "cut" out and saved for later
- pasting into an application.
-
- Installation (execute CUTPAST4):
- --------------------------------
- CutPaste is installed by executing the CUTPAST4.COM file from either
- the command line or the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Operation (Alt-F9, edit, END, move, END, Ctrl-F9):
- --------------------------------------------------
- Once installed, CutPaste may be brought up at any time by entering
- Alt-F9.
-
- Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to any place on the screen.
- The screen may be edited using the keys detailed below.
-
- Place the cursor at one corner of the area to be cut out and depress
- the END key. Notice that the character underneath the cursor turns to
- inverse video. Now move the cursor to the opposite corner of the area
- to be cut out. As the cursor is moved the entire area will appear in
- inverse video.
-
- Depress the END key one more time and the screen returns to normal.
- You are now "out" of CutPaste.
-
- To paste the cut area into the application, enter Ctrl-F9.
-
- The text in the box cut previously will be "typed" into the application,
- as if reentered from the keyboard, starting at the upper left hand
- corner and proceeding to the lower right hand corner. If you wish to
- exit CutPaste without cutting anything, reenter the Alt-F9 key.
-
- CutPaste will add block move capabilities to any word processor (or
- other program) which using BIOS interrupt 16 for keyboard input (that's
- just about everyting except XYWRITE). CutPaste has been tested with
- many other installables, notably SideKick and the MicroSoft and Mouse
- Systems mouse drivers. (CutPaste works GREAT with a mouse.)
-
- CutPaste only works in alphanumeric mode.
-
- Below is a layout of the keys to which CutPaste assigns editing
- meaning. Any key which CutPaste does not understand, it merely
- displays as ASCII. Depressing Alt-F9 enters and exits CutPaste.
