I saw this regarding Procomm plus 2.0, a new version of an MSDOS based
modem communications program.

     There's also an enhanced Dialing Directory with sorting, and the 
     ability to attach notes, as well as a Filename Clipboard, for 
     which a patent has been applied, allowing filenames to be cut 
     from the screen to an "electronic clipboard" while online. 
     Current owners of Procomm Plus can upgrade for just $39. The full 
     retail price is $119. 
     
Does anyone know about this Filename Clipboard thingie? If it does
what it sounds like, I'd swear I've seen something like it before. If
so, I'd love to help fight another software patent.
