I need a couple of utilities, or perhaps one utility that serves two
purposes. What I want is:
(1) A utility which will allow me to selectively cut text from the screen
and then paste it into the keyboard buffer. This utility needs to be
a TSR, and compact both in memory use and disk footprint. I am not
running any kind of windows and I'm not using a mouse -- I just want
to be able to grab rectangular areas of text from a CGA screen, selected
using cursor keys and whatever else is necessary, and then stuff it into
the keyboard stream of some other application later. It would be nice
if it could handle multiple lines of text nicely, like by adding CR/LFs.
(2) A utility which will allow me to stuff the keyboard with strings selected
from a menu. What I'd like is a TSR which pops up a menu of text strings
which, when selected, get stuffed into the input stream. It would be
nice if the menu could list the strings by some kind of identifier other
than by the string content itself. Again, small memory and disk usage is
required. No windows, no mouse.
Does anyone know of such a utility or utilities? I'd buy it (although not for
a whole lot of money), but I'd rather get something in the PD. I don't have
FTP access to the Internet, so I'd appreciate it if pointers included a mail
server address.
Thanks,

The instructions are sparce for the utility but if you can find reference to the magazine issue in which it was covered, I,m sure you will do ok. You can find the file on COMPUSERV under the PCMAGNET. Les
