Seems logical enough to me. | | What if the user pastes into the scrapbook? +--------------- Paste a list of filenames. Under System 7.0, this could be very useful if the Scrapbook is changed into a regular application which can then do useful things that (I would assume) are a bit harder in DAs like launching other applications. This could also be used in place of or in addition to the techniques used by RR 10.3 and by Zterm to construct batches of files for Y/Zmodem transfers. Moreover, using the Scrapbook would help alleviate copying/moving from multiple folders: select files from one folder, Copy, Paste to Scrapbook, select from next folder, Copy, Paste... then select the destination and Cut/Paste from the Scrapbook into the destination. Or Copy/Paste to copy to multiple folders. Think about it. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
