The application that wraps the module IcnClipBrd, !ClipBoard, shows what is currently on the clipboard. Though IcnClipBrd is not intended for Select/Adjust it does solve the EasiWriter issue. Copy a selection of plain text from EasiWriter and !ClipBoard shows the clipboard contents as type EasiDoc. Save that file and dump it into ones favourite text editor to see all the EasiWriter constructs. Don't try loading it into EasiWriter directly, it might appear correctly file typed but it crashes !EasiWriter. Selections can be copied between EasiWriter windows complete with styles. The bit I have not worked out yet is how IcnClipBrd manages to extract the text. -- David Pitt. Computing with RISC OS.
