I am trying to copy a set of code from one program into another. In order to copy and paste in tclite, I must highlight the lines of code and press [ctrl + ins] and to paste the lines of code, press [shift + ins].

But the problem is, that there is no ins key on the keyboard. I know its another name for the insert key but it won't work if I use the insert key.

Does anybody have any answers to my problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

try ctrl-c and ctrl-v or alt-c and alt-v...

even better! hack into the keyboard and send the scancodes yourself!

one way or the other.... try to post that kind of stuff in some tclite forum or whatever

theres a forum?

Ctrl + c and ctrl + v doesn't work. I doubt alt c and alt V will work either. I don't have access to the keyboard because Im been writing my code at college.

here is help:

if in windows use the DOS box buttons

Tom, what are dos box buttons ?

Ive never heard that term before.

I remember Turbo C++ for DOS... the most annoying part was the fact that you did have to use shift+insert for pasting. Try using the '0' key on your keypad with numlock off for insert (if you have a keypad). For delete, use the '.' key next to the '0' key on your keypad with numlock off.

if in 95 or later...

those buttons above the place where you use DOS ( if you can't see it use alt-enter )

hover your mouse over them, some should say select, copy or past....

Thanks for the help. I'll just build my c++ files in edit.com and save them as .cpp files. I will then copy and paste between each window. Instead of dealing with trying to copy and paste in turbo C++. I will then open the file and run it in Turbo C++.

I know dos isn't multitasking like windows is. Is there a way to switch between two programs like you do in Turbo c++ with alt+ F6?

Why not write your code in a Windows editor (i.e. not edit.com) then open the file in TC++?

beyondsociety, are you using DOS Emu? or in Windows?

Dos in windows. Im actually using a v86 dos box called from in windows 2000.
