- RIGHT MOVE
- ==========
- By Alan Hamilton
-
-
- They said it couldn't be done, so I just *had* to do it. RIGHT
- MOVE will enable you to "move" files on the Desktop using the mouse
- button rather than the Control key, if you have TOS version 1.4.
- TOS 1.4 added the ability to "move" files on the Desktop in
- addition to copying them. "Moving" a file means that the file is
- copied to the destination, then the original is deleted. With a
- regular "copy," you end up with two files: the original and the copy.
- The Desktop will do a "move" instead of a "copy" if the control
- key is being held down when the file or files to be moved are dropped
- into the destination window. RIGHT MOVE lets you hold down the right
- mouse button instead of the control key to do a move. A "move" will
- be done if you are holding down the right mouse button when you drop
- the file or files to be moved into the destination window.
-
- USAGE
- =====
- To install RIGHT MOVE, you can either run it from an AUTO folder,
- or directly from the Desktop. RIGHT MOVE will briefly flash a message
- identifying itself. RIGHT MOVE should only be installed once -- it
- will warn you if you try to run it after it's already installed.
- To move files on the Desktop, just be sure to hold down the right
- button when you release the files you are moving. In other words, let
- up on the left button, but hold the right one down until the "MOVE
- FILE(S)" dialog appears. If it says "COPY FILE(S)" you let go too
- soon. You can still use the control key too.
-
- SIDE AFFECTS
- ============
- RIGHT MOVE is only active while you are on the Desktop, so it
- shouldn't interfere with any programs you run. It may have trouble
- with certain programs that are resident in memory and that are active
- while the Desktop is up. Possible problem programs are "macro"
- programs that let you program a series of keystrokes into a single
- keystroke, or Desktop enhancements (like Codehead Software's HotWire).
- This isn't a problem caused by these programs, so don't blame them --
- it's just because RIGHT MOVE alters the way the control key is
- handled. You're most likely to encounter problems if you try to
- activate these programs while holding down the right mouse button.
- Since this isn't something you're likely to do, this shouldn't be too
- much of a problem.
- RIGHT MOVE is for TOS version 1.4 *only*. It will warn you if you
- try to install it on a system that does not have TOS 1.4.
-
- DISCLAIMER
- ==========
- My obligations to you are the same as your obligations to me: none.
- Although I have tested this program as best I can, I can't and won't
- be responsible for any problems it may cause with your particular set
- up. Use it at your own risk. RIGHT MOVE is in the public domain.
-
- REVISION HISTORY
- ================
- 2-22-90: Version 1.0 released.
-
- 5-17-91: Version 1.1 released. The only change is a fix for a conflict
- with John Eidsvoog's HotSaver. After doing a manual lockout with HotSaver,
- the alternate, left shift, and control keys would act as if they were being
- constantly held down.

- HELP!
