I am currently working on the screen output routines for a terminal emulator and was wondering if anyone had any advice and/or source on how to do text selection with the mouse a la TextEdit. Maybe someone on the net can save me a lot of time... Peter O'Leary P.S. Thanks to everyone who responded to my posting on terminal emulation software. Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- Peter O'Leary. "Speak of the Devil and the Devil may speak of you." - W. Hussey

Under some old systems (I can't remember which), It was possible to select word like *$00001234[5] or $4567:12 (I used in in my disassembler). Now (under system 6.0.5) it doesn't work anymore (only 00001234 or 4567 is selected). So is there a way to allow the old selection-style to function ? I really need this feature... -- Francois Menneteau () __|||||__ () "...

Probably the version of ttxt you use under the old system just used spaces as delimiters, and the new version uses the toolbox's word-definition functions. So you wouldn't be able to change it without serious hacking. I would just get the older version back.
