I have 8 plain text permanent clipboards. See this export for hotkey setup of that: [1] Key = Shift+F1 Target = ~=scite Cmd1 = *Clip Param1 = FilePaste messages/f1.txt Work1 = *Clip [2] Key = Shift+F2 Target = ~=scite Cmd1 = *Clip Param1 = FilePaste messages/f2.txt Work1 = *Clip [3] Key = Ctrl+F1 Target = ~=scite Cmd1 = *Clip Param1 = CopyThenToFile messages/f1.txt Work1 = *Clip [4] Key = Ctrl+F2 Target = ~=scite Cmd1 = *Clip Param1 = CopyThenToFile messages/f2.txt Work1 = *Clip ----------------- Just create the files in a folder that is called messages under where you .pcf file is. Create the files f1.txt and f2.txt User ctrl+f1 to copy selected text, and shift+f1 to paste text that was captured. Repeat for as many function keys as you want. ---------------- As an alternative you could always do something like this: - create a command that writes a unique file name (maybe a file name grabbed from the first x characters of the clipboard contents. - Use the clip tofile to paste the information into the file, that is located in your "permanent clipboard" folder. - Use a *Menu folder xxx to display a menu of the files in your permanent clipboard folder. And there you have clipboard a-la-permanente :) David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 What's happening to America, is big business killing it? http://tinyurl.com/4weom Funstuff: In any business, the customer is always right...except when he calls technical support. ------------------------ Yahoo!
