However, I did post about how to make a URL or e-mail address in OPro trigger a launch in NetSurf or e-mail app. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / zfc Yb \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

You still haven't given us an OS version (unless I've missed it; I'm catching up after a weekend down south), but I'll guess one of ROL's later offerings with writable icon clipboard support. In which case: congratulations, I think you've just found one of the features. i'm using OS 4.39 on a StrongArm RiscPC. Publisher 5.13 or 4.13. *help clipboardholder shows it's version 0.15 (2004-05-03), which as far as i know is the standard one that comes with OS 4.39. Netsurf r9799. Looking very cursorily at what messages get passed around when you do a Ctrl-C in Impression on a RO4.37 machine, it appears that the Clipboard Holder doesn't play with Impression. Draw exhibits a similar 'issue', because it uses the Clipboard Holder; I'd guess Edit would, too (but I can't find a copy to try at present). well, Clipboardholder plays with Impression to the extent that i can copy (Ctrl-C) from Impression and paste (Ctrl-V) into Edit, Datapower, OPro, Techwriter, MPro, and even Draw's Ctrl-E box for editing text, and, curiously, into a text-input box in Netsurf -- but NOT into Netsurf's URL bar. like Richard Porter, if i paste my bit into Edit, then re-copy (Ctrl-C) it from Edit, then i CAN paste (Ctrl-V) into the URL bar. to repeat: the bit of text copied out of Impression with Ctrl-C carries filetype TEXT, not Impdoc. (correct me if i'm wrong. i come to this conclusion by pasting by bit into a blank Edit page, which takes on filetype Text. if you paste something of another type into a blank Edit page and then save, Edit assigns it that filetype.) i have now installed IcnClipBrd (version 0.15 by Thomas Leonard and Steve Fryatt, 2009) and now i CAN use Ctrl-V to get my bit of text from Impression into Netsurf's URL bar. i'm still curious about the wherefores of this odd stumblingblock involving Impression, the built-in Clipboard Holder and the URL bar. how can we examine the internal details of what's actually on the clipboard? -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

Copy a url from a CSV file opened in Edit, paste into a new Edit window and it retains file type CSV, but copy straight from Schema 2 and it's changed to Text. Copy a URL off a browser window and it's type Text, but view the source and copy the same URL and it's HTML. You can't paste HTML into the URL bar. It appears that the clipboard retains the file type of a source file that was opened in Edit, but if you copy text straight from an application window and it's likely to be type Text. Only type Text can be pasted into a writable icon. I assume Oregano does its own processing of the URL bar. What I said earlier was that if I changed the file type to ImpDoc in Edit, then I couldn't copy and paste it into Netsurf's URL bar. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Confidentiality statement: Imagine 50 lines of pointless verbiage.
