I wrote and posted some years back a macro for FinalCopy/FinalWriter which
inserted a document from disk at the current insertion point.  It was one
of my first efforts at Arexx programming, but it worked.
 
I've now found a replacement for that, which I heartily recommend to
all FinalCopy/FinalWriter users.  Insert_Text, by Mike Fitzgerald,
eliminates my macro's cumbersome 'open a new window, load the file,
mark, cut, close window, paste' routine with an elegant use of the
clipboard through rexxutil.library.  It's simpler, faster, better.
 
I believe the Aminet file (/pub/aminet/biz/swood) is 'Insert_Text.lha'.
 
The actual macro name is Insert_Text_Clip, which originally put me off
because Text_Clips are supported in FinalCopy/FinalWriter, so why a
macro...the name is a bit misleading, the macro works superbly, so:
 
trash mine, get Mike's.  You'll be much happier.
