WRDGRB 1.2 Quick Guide
Copyright (c) 1995 by David M. Wincelberg
Overview
WRDGRB adds copy and paste to the DOS screen. In other words,
with this program installed you will be able to copy a filename
or other text on the screen to the command line. If you select a
file that is part of a directory listing, WRDGRB will paste it in
the DOS-usable form (FILENAME.EXT).
Uses for WRDGRB include selecting two files to compare,
renaming files, running a program, and choosing a file to edit or
word-process without using the file-open menu item. This program
would be especially helpful to slow or inaccurate typists.
Differently-abled (or physically-challenged) people may also
benefit. A custom hot-key can be specified in the initialization
file WRDGRB.INI.
To use this program, copy the files in WRDGRB.ZIP to a
single directory. (For more details, see the installation
instructions that are part of VENDINFO.DIZ.) Type WRDGRB and
press <Enter>. Then, when there is a filename or other text on
the screen that you wish to copy to the command line, press
<Ctrl>-<Right shift>-W (hold down the first two keys, tap W, and
then release all three keys.)
Next, use the mouse cursor to highlight text on the screen
by positioning it over the leftmost character you want to copy,
holding down the left mouse button, and moving the mouse to the
right one space past the word or other text. You may also double
left click on a word to highlight it quickly. Double clicking on
a basename in a directory listing will highlight the entire
filename. (Basename is the part of a filename before the
optional dot and extension.) Then release the button and click
the left mouse button to paste the text or click the right mouse
button to cancel the selection. If you double click either
button, the cursor will reappear after the program performs the
desired action. See the table below. You may type characters
before and after highlighting, even if you have not clicked a
mouse button.

Files in WRDGRB.ZIP
README.TXT This file.
WHATSNEW.TXT Describes changes since version 1.0.
WRDGRB.EXE Run this program to install copy and paste
for the DOS screen.
WGINIT.EXE This program is called by WRDGRB to read and
process the initialization file (WRDGRB.INI)
and the command line. It is separate from
WRDGRB so that WRDGRB's permanent memory
needs are smaller.
WRDGRB.INI Contains user-setable default values for
command-line parameters and a place for the
code to turn off the registration-reminder
screen.
WRDGRB.TXT The full documentation file.
WRDGRB.REG The registration file. Enter WRDGRB/S to
display your SiteCode and, optionally, place
it in a copy of this file.
FILE_ID.DIZ Description of WRDGRB to be used on-line or
in catalogs.
VENDINFO.DIZ Contains vendor-distribution and
registration-benefits information in a
computer-readable format. It also has WRDGRB
installation instructions, much of
README.TXT, and a copy of the license
agreement. The first part of VENDINFO.DIZ is
human readable, while the second part
requires a program such as the free VENDVIEW.
On CompuServe, GO ZENITH for this viewer as
file VNDVUE.ZIP in Library 6.
To print this file, another documentation file, or the
registration form, follow this example:
COPY README.TXT > PRN
All of the documentation files are formatted for printing on any
printer. (Ignore the characters at the left margin -- they tell
the printer to advance to the next page.) To see this file on
the screen, use an editor or enter:
