On New Year's Day, Thurman Pedigo wrote to the list:
"I should mention that the new ScreenMan routines (created by George - and
package mailed me by Nancy) are a great improvement. The terminal emulator I
use lets the user click on any field to begin data entry.

One thing it doesn't allow is a (cursor scrape) copy of screen text. I have
become so accustomed to using that copy feature that I miss it. I even have
a string of fields concatenated onscreen to provide a consistent ID for
storing scanned PDF documents. I think those moving from Windows to FileMan
will find the change most helpful and make ScreenMan much more attractive.

I am looking forward to road test this update.   ...."


If you're using PuttY
as your terminal emulator, hold SHIFT down while you click and drag, and you
will still be able to "cursor scrape".  Don't know how it works with other
terminal emulators.
