KUTSGLUE cuts and glues text to your w.p.
version 1.0 (c) copy right 1990 All Rights Reserved
Have you wondered why your cut and paste USELESS GARBAGE
utility cannot cut right jagged USELESS GARBAGE
text like this? USELESS GARBAGE
Or why it only works on 25 rows only, and not 43 or 50 rows?
Or why it works under editor X but not under your word
processor Y with the macro feature? Or why can't it cut
several texts? Or conversely, why can't only selected parts
of what was cut, be pasted to your word processor at a time?
KUTSGLUE can cut right jagged text up to 50 rows, and glue
it to your word processor, even if you have a macro key
utility also running. You can cut multiple texts and glue
back selected parts (or all, of course) at a time. KUTSGLUE
can be set to store up to 40,000 bytes of text, but since
the text uses only as much space as you cut right jagged
side, it can hold a lot.
If you have a macro key utility, end the menu for gluing by
pressing down on the space bar. Keep pressing on the space
bar and the text will be sent to your word processor. If
there is no macro key utility, end the gluing w/<ntr>.
Your word processor, data base etc where you glue the text
must be in insert or exchange or overlay mode, not in a
command mode.
The easiest way to use this document is to run KUTSGLUE
using the default Run parameter and rapidly skimming through
this document with your word processor or editor,
occasionally using altM to pop up the KUTSGLUE menu.
The set up of this document is as follows:

HELP
If you simply type
KUTSGLUE<ntr>
then you get the help screen only. KUTSGLUE will not
become memory resident.
The "<ntr>" is our way of saying <CR>, ^M, ^13, <ENTER>,
carriage return, <ENTER> etc which all mean the same thing.
We also use <bks> for backspace, <esc> for the escape key,
and "any key" to mean any function key, cursor key, letters,
etc etc. There is no one key with the word "any", but we
may use <spc> to mean the big space bar.
In case you're wondering about the wastefulness of storing
such mini-helps in the program, this and many other
messages stored in KUTSGLUE do not occupy any space when
memory resident.

RUN WITH DEFAULTS
To run this, simply type
KUTSGLUE RUN<ntr>
and end it with an <ENTER> or <ntr> or <cr> or anything
else you want to call the carriage return. This document
and all documents by my group uses the "<ntr>" format.
Just the letter "r" in "run" will work also.
Unless specified otherwise, the use of capital or small
letters is identical.
Any other command or text after the Run parameter is
ignored. The Run parameter is used when you run KUTSGLUE
without setting any other parameter. In other words, if you
want to run this with the built-in defaults.
If you run this program from within AUTOEXEC.BAT, the text
after the Run parameter will act as a comment describing
what you are doing. For example
KUTSGLUE A1<ntr>
will run this with the pop up menu in blue on black
background (Attribute color 1, if you use a color monitor),
so it is not necessary to type
KUTSGLUE A1 RUN<ntr>
since you are not running with only defaults, but since
everything after the Run parameter is ignored, you can
comment your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as in
KUTSGLUE A1 RUN w/blue character on black back<ntr>
On the other hand,
KUTSGLUE RUN A1<ntr>
will accept the "A1" as merely a comment.
--------------------------------------------------------------
KUTSGLUE itself and all programs hence forth lost the
self-wipe feature, the ability to wipe any and all other
memory resident programs loaded after this program.
(unless I start hearing otherwise)

CHANGING THE POP UP HOT KEY
If you don't want to use the default altM key combination to
pop up the menu, then you have a choice of a few hundred
others to choose from.
The allowed key combinations are function keys, cursor keys,
ctrl/shift/alt with function keys, alt with letters or
numbers, etc. But these are probably used by your word
processor or other softwares. In that case, you can choose
the combination made of pressing down on the alt key and
while keeping it pressed, typing the numbers "1" through
"255" on the numeric keypad to the right side of the regular
keyboard. This is normally used to enter chr$(128) through
chr$(255) into word processors which allow the use of
extended ascii characters.
To find what command parameter you need to make any of these
combinations act as the new menu hot key, type
KUTSGLUE M<ntr>
This will ask you to type any valid key combination which
can be used as a new menu hot key. If you press down on the
altM key combination at this time, then it responds with a
you need
M 50,000
and if you enter the command parameter
KUTSGLUE M50,000<ntr>
then altM will act as the menu's pop up hot key combination
as is the default.
If you pressed down on the alt+ combination, then it tells
you that you need
KUTSGLUE M131,000<ntr>
to make alt+ the menu's pop up hot key.
As you can see, to make altM, alt-, control-F1 and
other keys into the new menu hot key, numbers are
followed by three zeros.
At the prompt, if you pressed down on the alt key and while
keeping it pressed down, you type "22" on the numeric
keypad on the right side of the keyboard before letting go
of the alt key, then it tells you to use "M 22", so
KUTSGLUE M22<ntr>
will make this the new hot key for the menu. In other
words, press down on the alt key and while keeping it
pressed down, type "22" on the numeric key pad to make the
menu pop up. (You cannot type "22" on the regular keyboard
above the letters "QW". It does not work.)
KUTSGLUE ignores the comma "," and counts the number only.
The comma is only for your reference, so
KUTSGLUE M131000<ntr>
will also make alt+ the new hot key. But
KUTSGLUE M131 000<ntr>
will not work since KUTSGLUE accepts the space between the
