[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Copying Text

jhaslup@cs.arizona.edu (Jason A. Haslup) (03/25/91)

Hello - I have a quick question about an Fkey that I'm trying to write.  What
I need to do is copy any text that is currently hilited when my Fkey is
called.  I need to do this especially in dialog boxes - I will copy the text
into a string, manipulate it a bit, and then paste the new string back into
where the hilited text was.

My first problem is how to copy the text into a string in my program.  I'm
creating this project with Think Pascal 3.  Is it possible to copy the 
text and then paste it back in?

Any help would be appreciated.
