- The latest AmigaWorld has an article on the 2.x shell that says something
- about it being possible on a console window if the application opens one.
-
- I'm still at WB1.3 but I use Snap from a fish disk for this. I can copy
- and paste text to and from any window with it. I miss this ability with
- the mac at work :). Really, I have yet to find text I could not copy by
- activitating snap and dragging the mouse over it! It can even copy and
- pastes graphics as iff files if you tell it to.
-
- I believe powersnap does the same for 2.04 users.
-
- Hope this helps...

- Mike.
