A beginner�s question. I�ve figured out that I can add this string to the CTRL+ALT section of the keyboard table and cause the current selection to be saved to LPT4 (which vDosPlus uses to send things to the clipboard). I don�t fully understand it, but it seems to work: 46=XH,JM,(,s,a,d,/,n,v, ,L,P,T,4,) My questions are: 1. Is there a way to write this setting so that the �Done� message or something similar will appear on the status line? 2. Is there a way to cancel the selection as part of the command. I added ,ES to the end (which I think is what the Esc key does), but it didn�t make any difference, and I�m obviously forgetting something. Many thanks for any help.
