I just picked up a tool called "snipit" from the Lattice BBS. Snipit does the canonical "cut text from a window to be pasted elsewhere". Only works on windows using the console device for input; output can go anywhere. Unfortunately, there is no source, nor is there an offer to make source available. The only hint is: I have not tested this program on anything but Version 1.2 of the Amiga OS. SnipIt accesses some private and undocumented console driver data fields which may cause this program to fail on other versions of the operating system. (text from the snipit.doc file, courtesy of snipit). Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how it's done? I'd like sources so I could add dynamic backlighting....
