Index Number: 26351 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] NF> I mark a block and use GH-Chord it says "Copied." It goes into NF> the Clipboard, as far as I understand things. Then, when I try NF> ING-Chord it says "Paste what?" That is not the response the Hi Nancy, You will probably get a ton of replies to this one, but here's mine. The dots 346 chord has been changed to accomodate the calendar features, (I think.) When the bns says, "paste what", to get it to work as you are you are used too, use the letter c for clipboard. It does add an extra keystroke. In my December 1 revision of the bns 640, the delete paragraph does not copy both "CR-LF" to the clipboard. Deleting to mark is a good work around. NF> Also, does anyone have any good and useful BNS macros that they NF> would recommend for use by others? Send 'em along. It would NF> be much appreciated. I'm afraid I am not a macro king, like say Tim cumings, or others, but I do like the overwrite macro. This is an overwrite (o w chord) a space, a next character, and then the calling of the same macro over again to make a loop. It will work until a z chord aborts it. While on this subject, I have archived the blazie stuff from their distribution disk, and they are available on the Vibug bbs, as Blazmans.zip which are the manuals for various Blazie Engineering products, and bns-misc.zip, which is various files on interfacing the bns with other devices. I wanted to have the files in one place, because I have found that when they come out with a given piece of info, if you don't have that particular device, you don't care, until you get one. Then you wonder where the heck that info on how to make the bns do whatever you want it to do can be found. <grin> Now, that the macro.sys file can be transferred, perhaps people can begin to share their macro files for others to try out.
