Below are macros for the Microsoft Editor that allow you to save a
marked portion of a file and insert it into another file. Also, there
are macros that speed up marking large areas of text.
To save a marked area of a file, mark the area and invoke this macro
by typing ALT+V. Note that although the macro is broken onto two lines
here, you should put it on one line in your TOOLS.INI file.
savemark:=copy arg "command /c del c:\\t" shell arg "\\t" setfile
refresh paste setfile
savemark:alt+v
A one-key way to include the file in another file is to use the macro
by typing ALT+I:
insertmark:=arg arg "\\t" paste
insertmark:alt+i
To mark the top and bottom of the text area, use these macros. Type
ALT+T to place the marker, then ALT+U to use it. Type CTRL+INS or
CTRL+Y to copy or delete the text. Note that if your cursor is not in
the same column when you type ALT+U as when you typed ALT+T, the area
marked will be a box rather than a set of lines. Note also that the
marked area will NOT show up on the screen.
tempmark:=arg arg "temp" mark
usemark:=arg "temp"
tempmark:alt+t
usemark:alt+u
