$VER: CutNPaste.dopus5 2.3 (24.10.98)

Description:

This ARexx module will add a 'Cut', (Move),  and 'Copy' item to file and
directory pop-up menus, and 'Paste' to lister pop-up menus.  You can also
now paste a file or directory into a selected directory or disk using
'Paste Into', and rename it using 'Paste As...' or 'Paste Into As...'.

Locale support, Danish translation and bugfix for spaces in filenames by
Michael Skibsted Sørensen <MSS@kob.dk>.

Version 1.1 (and most of the hard work for this module) was written by
Andrew Dunbar <andrew@gpsoft.com.au>.  See "History".

Tested only with DOpus 5.661 but should be fine with 5.5+.


Installation:

1. Ensure RexxMast is running.
2. Install CutNPaste.dopus5 into the DOpus5:Modules/ directory, it will be
   automatically recognised by DOpus and the menu items added immediately.
3. For Danish language also install CutNPaste.catalog into your
   LOCALE:Catalogs/Dansk/ directory.
(It's not necessary to reload DOpus.)


Instructions (Brief):

1) Enable 'Name Mode popup' in 'Environment/Lister Options'.
2) Open a name mode lister of a directory with some files/dirs.
3) RMB click on a file or dir to cause the menu to popup and select 'Copy'.
4) Open another name mode lister, in another directory, and using the
   lister popup menu, (RMB click on a lister border), select 'Paste'.
5) The file or directory will be copied to that directory.
6) RMB click on a directory (or disk icon on the desktop) and select
   'Paste Into' to paste the file into that directory or the root directory
   of the disk.
7) Select 'Paste As...' or 'Paste Into As...' to rename the file (using
   the 'MoveAs' and 'CopyAs' DOpus commands).
8) Selecting 'Cut' from the file popup menu will move the file or directory
   to the other lister.
9) If this looks complicated play around with it and you'll soon work it out!

You can view the current contents of the clipboard and whether that item will
be cut or copied when pasted by selecting "View Clipboard Contents..." from
the lister popup menu.  To clear the contents select "Clear Clipboard
Contents..." from the lister popup menu.
