If you are using OS/2, I would strongly recommend tracking down the TWCP,
which allows one to do mouse-controlled cut & paste to and from a text
window.  I have set it up (eg) to use ctrl-button 1 to highlight and
copy text to the clipboard from a window text app, and button 2 to paste
to the windowed text app.  It's _much_ nicer than going through the
standard OS/2 mechanisms.

btw.  Any chance of an OS/2 version?...
