Damn, Bill, I was tempted to commiserate w/Claudine about this when I read
your response.  This is stupendous, to borrow fm Barney - my 7-year-old
doesn't pay too much attention anymore, but I have 22-month-old who walks
around pointing at the tv and saying "Bop" (Baby Bop, Barney's little green
dino-friend w/the pink bow and shoes) - as I (almost) always keep
quick-n-dirty documentation in WordPerfect of (almost) all my
work-in-progress.  I grab the screen and drop it into a file in the left
cell of a 2-column WP table.  Then I date/time it in the right cell and
describe what I'm doing to the extent necessary, i.e. how much description
is required to remind me 6 weeks fm now what I was doing today?  What's been
missing is an easy way to drop the text of the command(s) into the WP doc,
rather than just the bitmap.  This is great and, lemme' tell you, this form
of "rough" documentation has more than paid f/itself in repeatability and
Q/A - now, this handy-dandy tip will make it even more of a time-saver.

Thanks much,
Steve in Memphis
