--- Begin Message ---Package: dasher Version: 4.4.1-2 Severity: normal Hi, the documentation says: ==================================================================================================== 4.4. Send text to other window You can also have whatever is written in Dasher be directly beamed to another window. Enable the `send text to other window' option under the options menu. Then the window that you select will get Dasher's output. ==================================================================================================== However, there is no such option, and in the Preferences menus, there is no comparable option.

--- Begin Message ---Version: 4.11+git20130508.adc653-2 Hi, "Direct mode" is what allows sending text to another window. In the interface, there is a button to switch this mode on/off (between the "Paste" button and the "Preferences" button. The command line option "--appstyle=direct" does the same. Also the manpage is correct about this option. It looks like this has been solved in the meantime. Regards, Thibaut.
