Steve: I use a variety of editors for command files, primarily RBEDIT for R:Base files (mostly because you can call the database dictionary), although I am slowly switching to RSTYLE. I also use NotePad and WordPad, all of which support Cut and Paste, (CTRL-C and CTRL-V); with this tools I have all I need to move code between applications. I also use ALT-PrtScrn to take a snapshot of the screen that I can paste just about anywhere. This works equally well with e-mails (I use Outlook 2000). I am looking forward to becoming familiar with the new features of 7.0 RBEDIT and RSTYLE. Javier,

Two ways to save code showing on screen for reference and pasting into email. One - press the print screen key and the paste it into paint and save. This works from any screen shot you might want to save. I use this quite a bit for presentations and other graphic material. Two. Select the icon on the left side of the window you have opened (can not be opened to full screen unless you have set up edit properties in properties for the window and this presents a whole new set of challenges.) for your 6.5 DOS application. Right click on this icon and select edit and then mark. Next select the text or area you want to copy in the window by selecting the 1st character you what to select and then holding down the left mouse button highlight the area you want to copy. Once this is highlight press the enter key and you have copied the selected text. you can now paste this any where you want. This is how I take tested code and copy it to a working file. You can also reverse this process in a working application. In may cases I will work with our quality control department in solving customer service problems. I use dragon naturally speaking with my MS outlook and once I have documented a phone call I will cut and paste this text into out R:base application via this same method. Eliminate double typing. Hope to some day get Dragon working with Rbase. I believe it can but have not had the time or funding to pursue this. Plus staff training time would have to be figured in. Well getting long winded here have a great night. Steve
