Ah yes, sorry. The WMOV command is included in ptrmen, part of the EasyPtr suit of programs. EasyPtr is one of three available tools for developing 'modern', pointer driven applications for the QL, and in my opinion the easiest to use. The other two are Qptr (by Tony Tebby, author of Qdos and Smsq/e) and TurboPTR, by George Gwilt (of Gwass fame). The complete EasyPtr, recently updated by Marcel Kilgus (author of QPC), may be purchased from QBranch or JMS. Qptr may still be available from the same sources, while TurboPTR is free (see http://www.jms1.supanet.com/SQLUG/gwilt/Gwilt.htm). The latter two use a different nomenclature to achieve the same thing. Having said that, anyone using my free program Msprv will also be able to access the ptrmen toolkit, which is included by permission of the original author, Albin Hessler. Msprv can be downloaded from www.witteware.com/knoware. You'll find it under Programs/PE/Msprv.
