I've got another Qbasic question. Is it possible to paste from and copy to the clipboard? I know you can press Alt and Enter to shrink the window and then click on the Paste button, but I don't think that will work for copying, and it would be nice to have the program do it automatically.
Actually I've got another related question as well. Whenever I run compiled Qbasic programs, it opens up in full screen. However, I sent one to a friend and it opened in a window. Is there any command that can open it up to full screen or shrink it to a window automatically?
Thanks!

Well, you can cut and paste using shift + insert and ctrl + insert instead of ctrl + c and ctrl + v. I don't know if it does anything to the clipboard.
Full screen depends on how you have the executable set up, right click on it and press properties, then check the screen tab, it should have an option to have the program start up full screen or windowed.
If you want it to start up all your executables in fullscreen, do the above but for command.exe in c:\windows\command. This sets the dos prompt to always start up in full screen, so any programs using it do the same.

I knew about Ctrl Insert and Shift Insert, but I think that works with it's own clipboard. Sorry about that, but I forgot to clarify that I wanted the user to be able to copy and paste while the program was running.
I'll mess around and see what I can find.
Thanks for the help on window settings too!

QuickBasic 4.5 comes with a copy/paste command in its interface, but nothing for the user to use. I would say that if you stored input into a variable then the user could just recall the varibale to copy something from within DOS by using a command that you supply. For example, if the user inputs "COPY"...
Code:
Input "Your Name"; name$
Input "Your name again"; name2$
IF NAME2$ = "COPY" THEN NAME2$ = NAME$

| what about doskey, where, in an input, a user can press the UP key and recall the thing that they typed before. I don't know if that would work, but it's worth a try. |
