Re: mc Digest, Vol 102, Issue 3

[Holger Herrlich <holgerherrlich05 arcor de>]

To copy text from one mcedit instance to another, mark the text via
[F3], copy it to a file (dflt: .mc/cedit/cooledit.clip) via [ctl]+[f],
switch to the other mcedit and load the text via [F15] (maybe
[shift]+[F3]). This will work for all instances of mcedit if run by the
same user.
