Willie,

Just a point of interest here if you are using Vocal Eyes...You probably
already know this, but other vocal eyes users may not be aware, or
possibly not remember the fact that Vocal Eyes has its own "Snipper
like" utility built-in.  The Vocal Eyes clippboard can be used to grab
anything from the screen into a buffer, and paste the info into any
other application you want.  You just go into review and mark off the
block with the mark key.  This info is stored into a buffer and can
later be pasted by using whatever hot key you have defined as the "write
clippboard" key.  I use this very very often, and it is one of the many
features in Vocal Eyes that I have grown to really appreciate.  One of
the ways I use it, is when on line with a bbs for example.  If I am
doing a listing of files and there is one that I heard that I want to
download, and it is one of those hard to remember file names, I just go
into review, mark the file name, and then when asked for what file to
download by the bbs, I just hit the paste clippboard key, and there is
the filename sitting at the prompt waiting for me to press return to
start the download.  The buffer can also be appended to if desired.
Likewise, I use the clippboard for many many other things too numerous
to list here.  For those reading this, the clippboard is not a beta
feature.  It has been in vocal eyes since before version 1.0...Hope this
gets some of the Vocal Eyes users using this easily forgotten, but
extremely handy feature!!!

Regards,
Rick
