How To Copy A Source Listing
(From a Web Page, a Chatroom, etc.)

Oftentimes, you will find a SiMPLE source listing located at an "external" place (such as on a website), and you would like to copy that listing into one of your SiMPLE projects so that you can run it.

If you're feeling ambitious and have nothing better to do, you could just type the source listing in by hand! However there is an easier way to do it -- Just use the Windows Clipboard to copy and paste:

1. Highlight the listing (by dragging your mouse over it), and then press "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy it into the Clipboard.
   
   
2. If you are using SiMPLE in command-line mode, "GO" to the project into which you want to copy the listing.
   
   
3. Type the command:  EDITOR  WIN  on the command line. (This will set Window's "Notepad" as the text editor* for SiMPLE.)
   
               *[If you later want to reset the editor back to the original "blue screen" one,
               simply type the command:  EDITOR  DOS  on the command line at a later time.]
   
   
4. Use the "OPEN" command to create a new program. (When the editor opens, you will notice that the usual "blue screen" is now a "white screen.")
   
   
5. Click on the word "Edit" in the menu bar of the window, and then select "Paste."
   
   
6. Click on the word "File" in the menu bar of the window, and then select "Exit".
