Doug, SnipIt won't do the job. Let me explain a little better… I got the idea from some programs on the IBM, one of which the company I work for sells. The best comparison would be Borland's memory-resident program called SideKick. SK has a pop-up calculator built in. I find it to be VERY useful at work. The program that I'm writing is also a pop-up calculator (for programmers). In SK, you can pop into the program at any time by pressing the hot-key, and, make a calculation, and then PASTE the result (contents of the calculator display). When SK pastes, all it does is stuff the ASCII codes for the number to be pasted into the IBM's keyboard buffer, and then it returns control to whatever had control when you activated SK. THAT program will accept the input into one of it's input fields (assuming you poped-up SK while the other program was waiting for inout somewhere) because it's in the keyboard buffer. THIS is what I'd like to implement on _my_ calculator on the Amiga. The question is, how do you get the data to the application. You have to make it look like the system has collected the information from the keyboard. It can be a useful feature, but if it's too difficult to implement then it's probably not worth it.
