I do use this facility to transfer text between Windows clipboard and Scrap when using QL programs like QD which know how to use Scrap. I also use Marcel's little SyncStuff SBASIC utility to copy between Scrap and hotkey stuffer buffer. > I have used the same menu extensions as I have always used (I just use > my old QPC boot on my normal qxl.win file) - I wasn't even aware there > is a special QPC version (what's different?). This is a quote from emails Jochen sent me (for news columns) a while back: Please note: The Menu Extension from version 7.65 onwards works only under SMSQ/E V2 (e.g. QPC2 or systems with high-colour screen drivers). If you run the "old" QL Pointer Environment, you should stick to your old Menu Extension. English only (a German version of MENU_rext is also on the disc, but no German documentation). Plus this little note: A new version of Qmenu, version 8.02, is now available. The current versions of QMenu are only licensed for use on SMSQ/E systems. The previous version had a small bug, however, in that it tested for QPC, not SMSQ/E. So it would appear that there was at least one version which explicitly tests for QPC rather than SMSQ/E. > Could you change it to "HBA-S" perhaps? A lot of programs (rightly or wrongly) test for SMSQ/E and Minerva explicitly with testing for VER$ = HBA and JSL1 respectively. This would risk throwing those programs, perhaps.
