Re: Copying and pasting, Win to Xy

[Judith Davidsen jdavidsen@xxxxxxxx]

I use xydos 4.018 in what I assume is a full screen in W98.
The screen takes up the entire, well, screen, and there is
no task bar.

On the Windows side of things, I select a chunk of text
(word, excel, email, stuff from a website), hit ctrl+c,
right click on the Xy icon that's in the Windows taskbar,
choose edit, then paste and when I return to Xy, there is
the chunk where I had left the cursor. I don't have to go
back into Xy and call the chunk from there--it arrives
before I do (unless it's long, and then, as Brian points
out, I can actually watch it arriving in Xy, at about the
same rate I used to be able to watch a text transmission on
an old 300-baud modem.)

I discovered how it works when I was striving mightily to
find a way to make Xy paste the selected material, and
happened to look down to find a bunch of stuff had already
arrived in the middle of a job I was doing.

I hope this is some help.
