The Download Clipboard is used to store file names you
CLIP from the screen with your mouse.
You can edit, view, save, reload, and feed the file
names back to the BBS when you are ready to download.
The Download Clipboard is one of the few items in TNT
that can only be accessed from the Mouse Menu. Since you
HAVE to have a mouse to clip a file name from the
screen, this keeps the HOTKEY help menu from becoming to
cluttered.
The Download Clipboard has 64 FILE cells. Each file
cell can hold ONE file name.
Almost all the Download Clipboard functions work on
TAGGED files. A tagged file is highlighted, black with
an off-white background. Other file names, those not
tagged, are bright white with an off-white background.
To tag a file, move to its cell and click the LEFT mouse
button. To untag a file, move to its cell and click on
it with the LEFT mouse button.
EXITING The Clipboard
---------------------
There are two way to exit the Download Clipboard. Click
your RIGHT mouse button or click on F2-Send Names with the
LEFT mouse button.
FUNCTION KEY OPTIONS
--------------------
F2-Send Names
When the BBS asks you for the name or names of the files
to download, you can send those names by opening the
Download Clipboard and TAGGING the file names you want
to download. Once you have TAGGED all the files, click
on the text "F2-Send Names" or press F2.
A small window will open asking if you want to use a
CR/LF sequence to separate the file names, click on YES
if you do. If you click on NO, TNT will use a SPACE to
seperate the file names.
Which to use can be confusing. Some BBS packages require
the CARRIAGE RETURN, some require the SPACE.
Experimenting with the BBS you call is the only sure
fire method of determining which one is appropriate.
Once you have selected the separation character, you
will return to TERMINAL mode and TNT will send the names
of the files.
You may also move the mouse cursor to the text "F2-Send
Names" and click the LEFT mouse button to select this
option.
F3-Load Clip
This function allows you to RELOAD a Download Clipboard
that you previously saved with the F6-Save option.
A FILEBOX will open listing all the CLIPBOARDS in the
current directory. Move the scroll bar to the clipboard
you want and press RETURN or click LEFT mouse button.
You can use the PGUP, PGDN, UP-ARROW, DN-ARROW, HOME,
and END keys to move the scroll bar. You may also FAST
SCROLL the FILEBOX by moving your mouse cursor to the
first or last entry and holding down the RIGHT MOUSE
BUTTON.
You may also move the mouse cursor to the text "F3-Load
Clip" and click the LEFT mouse button to select this
option.
F4-Clear
This clears the Download Clipboard. If you want to SAVE
the names of the files you have clipped from the screen,
use the F6-Save option before pressing F4.
You may also move the mouse cursor to the text "F4-
Clear" and click the LEFT mouse button to select this
option.
F5-Clear Tagged
This option is similar to F4 except it only removes the
file names you have TAGGED. The remaining file names are
shifted up to fill the blank cells.
This is useful if you tag a bunch of files but can only
download a few at a time. After each download, select
F5-Clear Tagged to remove the names of the files you
just download and tag a new group.
You may also move the mouse cursor to the text "F5-
Clear Tagged" and click the LEFT mouse button to select
this option.
F6-Save
The Save option allows you to save the contents of the
current Download Clipboard to disk, maybe you did not
have enough time to download the files you wanted.
A small window will open asking for a file name. You may
enter up to 8 characters, but do NOT enter an EXTENSION.
TNT will add the file extension of CLP. This allows TNT
to locate the Dowload Clipboards when you select the F3-
Load Clip option.
