I'm new to this list, so this may be a question that's been answered
lots of times before....

I use Endnote+ for DOS, with WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, both running under
Windows 3.1 on a 486-clone.  Sometimes I run full-screen, sometimes I run
them in DOS windows.  (I like the program, and recommend it to friends
and students; support services like this list add to its value--thanks.)

When writing a paper, typically I find the citation I want, copy to the
clipboard with CTRL-C or CTRL-K (depending on what format I want),
then switch to WP5.1 running in a window, and use Windows's paste
function to put the citation into my paper.

My question is this: is
there an easy way to collect all the citations I want at once (often
three to five citations) and paste them all together?  I have nearly
2200 citations, few with keywords or other methods of collecting all
the citations I want in a single search.  Usually I search by author.
Going back and forth four or five times for a single set of citations
is a pain.

Thanks.

-- Bruce
