50.0. "Cut and Paste Question" by DEMOAX::LOEW () Fri Jan 27 1989 12:13

    My question is similar to the last but with some twists.
    
    Say a person has on an ms-dos pc decwindows running.
    
    Say they are running word perfect in one window.
    
    They would like to cut and paste from other applications in other
    
    windows (text) using the same keys that word perfect uses
    
    to do cut and paste.  I believe this can be done from
    
    the standpoint of the applications themselves. (ie. written into
    
    the application code) But can it be done from the decwindows 
    
    level? or through some kind of keyboard remapping if they are 
    
    running the applications from decterm (terminal emulation)?

50.1NOT (PCDECwindows AND WordPerfect/MSDOS)ANTPOL::PRUSSDr. VelocitySun Jan 29 1989 10:2813
    If they are running wordperfect in one window, then that window
    is a DECterm, and the wordperfect running is wordperfect for vms.
    
    When DECwindows-extended-for-MSDOS is running on a PC, it is the
    only PC application running.
    
    See mosaic::pcdecwindows for details.
    
    Cut and paste works between DECterm and other applications to the
    extent that the various applications have decided to implement it.
