Since Jon is a Xy4 user, the /NV switch should be appended to both of
those commands to avoid the confirmation prompt:
sad/nv lpt4
copy/nv [filename] lpt4
Also, to copy the (entire) file in the current window to the
clipboard:
sa/nv lpt4
Any of these commands can, of course, be assigned to keys, e.g.
; Copy DeFine to clipboard
nn=BXs,a,d,/,n,v, ,l,p,t,4,Q2
For pasting into Xy, WinKey+Ctrl+C works, but is slow (writes
characters one at a time) and chokes on clips larger than about 9KB.
However, with slight modification, Robert's U2 frame CLIPW (attached)
can be used for pasting (and, as I recall, Jon is a U2er too). CAll
the attached file in XyWrite, DeFine the entire thing and issue
ADD2U2
. The KBD assignment is
nn=NOJM2,.,c,l,i,p,w,c,Q2
