Carl, thanks for the response. I've been experimenting some more and
improved on the XPL program and script. I switched to saving the defined
text to a macro, and the macro to a file, which was less complicated and
didn't require cleaning out the contents of the file; it has so far
accurately copied the selected text every time. But I now want take a
look at what you sent.
But as a quick reply to yr final comment, I did some online research and
found a way to kill the EOF using the script; my revised xytonix.sh
script is:
#! /bin/bash
#
# for xywrite/dosemu, for use with xytonix.pm
# removes EOF from frxy and outputs result to frxya
# copies frxya to clipboard for system use
# deletes frxya
#
tr -d '\032' < /home/pgl/data/xy4/clip/frxy >
/home/pgl/data/xy4/clip/frxya;\
xclip -i -selection c < /home/pgl/data/xy4/clip/frxya;\
rm /home/pgl/data/xy4/clip/frxya
