Msg: RE: DOSBox-X-App on Mac: Assign a key to save highlighted as CLIP$

Thanks to both Carl and Prof. Mendelson for the assistance.

Sorry to be imprecise about VDOSPlus and Monterey. Since VDOSPlus in Monterey doesn't work with Xywrite, I knew I had to switch to DOSBox-X.

Thanks, Carl and Prof. Mendelson.

I'm getting "Command Entry Error" with Carl's new key assignment. But fine, I can habituate to the 3-key grayed-out method if necessary.

Sorry to be imprecise about VDosPlus. Glad it works with Monterey, but the page says it no longer works with Xywrite, my particular use case. Here's hoping DOSBox-X can withstand the relentless Mac updates.

Jon,

Try this:

47=DZBXs,a,d,/,n,v, ,C,L,I,P,$,Q2

Func DZ "closes" the define. Command SAD saves the define to a file.

Switch /NV overwrites any existing CLIP$ without prior confirmation.

You may ned to prepend a "d:\path\" to CLIP$ for this to work. I'm not

sure where DOSBox-X looks for CLIP$, Perhaps in Z:\ ??

1. vDosMac works perfectly under Monterey. You may need the current version:
