SNAP is a very handy utility that saves text to the clipboard.device
so it can be pasted back into another window/program.  Snap also
has the ability to save it as an IFF file.  If snap is running, try
holding down the left Amiga key and dragging a window around some text
with the mouse.  It operates in rectangle, word, or line mode by starting
your 'window' with one, two or three clicks.  LAmiga-I does the insert.
A neat thing about this is that it can interact with other programs
that use the clipboard.  For example, highlight some text on your 
bridgeboard side with the mouse, and then use SNAP to paste it back into
your Amiga side.  It is on a Fish disk, FF326 being the most recent.  If
you have SNAP you should also have the docs.
