| The cardfiler uses the simple text widget which can be modified by settings its
translations in the applications default file
For example:
*DwtText.translations: \
#augment \n\
Ctrl<Key>e: end-of-line()\n\
Ctrl<Key>j: delete-previous-word()\n\
Ctrl<Key>h: beginning-of-line()\n\
Ctrl<Key>r: redraw-display()\n\
Ctrl<Key>u: delete-to-start-of-line()\n
*SText.translations: \
#augment \n\
Ctrl<Key>e: end-of-line()\n\
Ctrl<Key>j: delete-previous-word()\n\
Ctrl<Key>h: beginning-of-line()\n\
Ctrl<Key>r: redraw-display()\n\
Ctrl<Key>u: delete-to-start-of-line()\n
There have been other notes about setting text widget translations.
Page 4-9 in the Desktop Application guide shows how move text within a card and
between cards. The mechanisms are global select and the clipboard.
You can also use global select and clipboard bewteen other applications such as
the terminal emulator, the notepad and calc that support text.
In V2, the is also clipboard support for DDIF images from/to paint.

| 1473.2 | No intrinsic CARDFILER capability? | SPCTRM::GORCZYCA | | Fri Sep 22 1989 12:47 | 23 |

I assume by this response that the answer to my question is NO, there is no
mechanism WITHIN CARDFILER to import text from a file to a card or export
text from a card to a file.
Only the normal DECwindows text movement features are supported?
Note that I am using a PC server. PCs have small screens and therefore multiple
application sessions frequently overlap each other on the screen. This makes
it somewhat impractical to try to use the DECwindows methods for cutting and
pasting raw text between two such (overlapped) windows. It can be done, but
it ain't fun.
Seems strange that this application supports the importation of graphics but not
of text.

| If you can't see the source and dest at the same time, try the clipboard.
For example, in DECterm, select what you want and use EDIT/COPY. In the
cardfiler use EDIT/PASTE.
I realize this is still not what you asked for, but nonetheless...it addresses
your problem.

There's a utility in the toolshed called CARDBUILD which will do
half of what you want: it will translate a textfile to cardfiler
format. The textfile must adhere to certain formatting guidelines.
SEL or KP7 for METOO::SW_TOOLS_CLEARINGHOUSE.

| 1473.7 | Thanks. Exporting too??? | SPCTRM::GORCZYCA | | Thu Sep 28 1989 12:02 | 10 |
| re: .6
Thanks for adding importing to the wish list....could I twist your arm to get
exporting included also (though less important since "card formated" files
could be edited).
