Hi list, whenever you load the file quickpad.ah in Arachne (the quickest way to do so is to press Alt+Q) Arachne's internal editor opens a kind of clipboard called QuickPad. By default Arachne uses as clipboard the file quickpad.txt in Arachne's main directory. It is, however, even possible to change this file name by editing one line in quickpad.ah, eg.:
<TEXTAREA ROWS=32 ARACHNEROWS COLS=74 ARACHNEEDITOR=D:\X.TXT ACTIVE> makes quickpad.ah point to the file d:\x.txt. This file then loads into the internal editor whenever you press Alt+Q. If you try to integrate Arachne with other DOS programs and exchange data between them the use of a clipboard can become quite interesting. Unfortunately the customization of the clipboard's file name does not extend to the copy and paste function of the internal editor. Pressing Ctrl+W or Ctrl+R while working with the internal editor will still default to the file name quickpad.txt. This seems to be hard coded. Should we consider this a missing feature of Arachne?
