CONCLIP (2.X/3.X only) (location: C:)
NAME
Conclip- Directs console device to use the clipboard
for cutting-and-pasting.
SYNOPSIS
CONCLIP [UNIT clipnum] [OFF]
DESCRIPTION
By default, the Amiga's console device only uses its
own internal buffer for copying and pasting. This command
directs the console device to use the clipboard for its
copying and pasting.
Copy-and-Paste lets you copy a block of text from a
console window by drag-selecting it with the mouse then
pressing RightAmiga-C. You can then paste this into
another console window by activating that console and
pressing the RightAMiga- V.
Conclip not only lets you paste into other consoles
but also into the window of any other application which
supports the clipboard.
It's an extremely good idea to make sure it is in
your Startup-Sequence. This way, you will not have to
worry about it.
Note: Conclip requires the iffparse.library to be in
your LIBS: drawer and the clipboard.device file to be in
your DEVS: drawer.
KEYWORDS
UNIT
Lets you specify the device unit number from 0 to
255. This designates the clipboard device number you
wish to paste to. You do not have to add the word 'UNIT',
you can merely specify the number.
OFF
Lets you turn off the clipboard device for that
console. There is really no need to do this as it will
never effect the operation of anything else.
EXAMPLES
1. To direct the console to use the clipboard to
copy-and-paste:
Conclip
2. To change the clipboard unit number used by the
console device to unit 3:
Conclip 3
(By the way, the console device is utilized to accept
keyboard and mouse strokes and print them to the screen.
The output goes to a console window. The CLI has its very
own console window.)
