Summary:

It is possible to copy text across files in the QuickC editor by using the clipboard. The clipboard is active and text remains in it throughout the session, even when more than one file is edited in a session.

To copy text across files, do the following:


 * 1) Open the source file.
 * 2) While the source file is on the screen, copy or cut the desired text into the clipboard.
 * 3) Open the destination file.
 * 4) Paste the contents of the clipboard into the destination file on the screen.

This feature is documented on pages 151-152, Chapter 7, “Editing Source Files,” of the “Microsoft QuickC Compiler Programmer’s Guide” for QuickC versions 1.x. It is not documented in the printed documents for later versions of QuickC.

The menu option Open Last File (shortcut keystroke F8) automates the return to the destination file after the source text is put into the clipboard. For more information on this option, see page 136 of the above manual.
