                 Copies Words From DOS Screen to Command Line

                                   Overview

       WordGrab provides mouse-based copy and paste for the DOS screen.
       In other words, with this program installed you will be able to
       use your mouse to copy a filename or other text on the screen to
       the command line.  If you select a filename that is on the left
       margin of a directory listing, WordGrab will paste it in the DOS-
       usable form: FILENAME.EXT.  For DOS 7.0, which comes with Windows
       95, a long filename can be used at the command line if you
       enclose it in double-quote marks.

            Uses for WordGrab include selecting two files to compare,
       renaming files, running a program, and choosing a file to edit or
       word-process without using the file-open menu item.  This program
       would be especially helpful to slow or inaccurate typists.  A
       custom hotkey can be specified in the initialization file
       WRDGRB.INI.

            To use this program, copy the files in WRDGRB.ZIP to a
       single directory.  Type WRDGRB and press <Enter>.  Then, when
       there is a filename or other text on the screen that you wish to
       copy to the command line, press <Ctrl>-<Right shift>-W (hold down
       the first two keys, tap W, and then release all three keys.)

            Next, use the mouse cursor to highlight text on the screen
       by positioning it over the leftmost character you want to copy,
       holding down the left mouse button, and moving the mouse to the
       right one space past the word or other text.  You may also double
       left-click on a word to highlight it quickly.  Double clicking on
       a basename in a directory listing will highlight the entire
       filename.  (Basename is the part of a filename before the
       optional dot and extension.)  Then release the button and click
       the left mouse button to paste the text or click the right mouse
       button to cancel the selection.  If you double click either
       button, the cursor will reappear after the program performs the
       desired action.  See the table below.  You may type characters
       before and after highlighting, even if you have not clicked a
       mouse button.


                             Left Button       |     Right Button
                      -------------------------------------------------
       Single click   |       send text        |        cancel        |
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       Double click   |      send text &       |       cancel &       |
                      |   wait for more text   |  wait for more text  |

       WRDGRB.EXE          Run this program to install copy and paste
                           for the DOS screen.

       WGINIT.EXE          This program is called by WordGrab to read
                           and process the initialization file
                           (WRDGRB.INI) and the command line.  It is
                           separate from WordGrab so that WordGrab's
                           permanent memory needs are smaller.

       WRDGRB.INI          Contains user-setable default values for
                           command-line parameters and a place for the
                           code to turn off the registration-reminder

                           agreement.  The first part of VENDINFO.DIZ is
                           human readable, while the second part
                           requires a program such as the free VENDVIEW.
