Transfer PowerBASIC

[Fred Katzel]

Is there someway to transfer a portion of a PowerBASIC to an
e-mail like this on without retyping it?

For the DOS user:
Using Windows, Open your file from an editor:
Notepad, Wordpad, PB for Windows, etc.
Then Copy and Paste.

Hi Mel

I tried this approach before posting the origional topic. I have
tried this approach twice since with no success. I have viewed the
Windows Clipboard after bring my internet up and found nothing in
clipboard. I believe I have just too old copy of PowerBASIC to do this.

Fred: take Ian's suggestion: don't use the PB-DOS editor to open your source, but use a Windows text editor (Notepad or Wordpad for instance) instead. From there copy and paste should work.

Hi

Thanks Ian and Dan for your help. Somehow I didn't see Dan's
suggestion before I sent my last reply off.

Thanks again.

Odd...I transferred my entire kInput routine in a previous post
this way. I ran PB in a window, enabled quick select, copied
and pasted...

Fred, I'm not clear what method(s) you are trying now...

Are you using the IDE's built-in COPY function (which won't work for copying to the Windows clipboard, since the IDE's clipboard is private to the PB/DOS IDE itself), or the Windows Quick-Edit (Click/drag across the DOS screen to high-light a block of the the screen, press ENTER to copy to the Windows clipboard), or opening the file with a Windows text editor?

To go the other way (pasting into the DOS IDE from the Windows clipboard), you have to use the Paste facility in the system-menu... when the DOS box is open, press ALT+SPACE, select EDIT, PASTE. Disabling auto-indent is a good idea in this case though (CTRL+O, I) other the pasted lines may "stagger" across the screen.
