Exploiting the Wimp (Part 4)
by Mike Ironmonger

The example application given this month implements RAM transfer when data is saved from one application to another.

The application installs itself on the icon bar, and when you drag its icon bar icon to an application that can use the RAM transfer protocols, 100 bytes of data are transferred directly to that application. The data is simple text, so for the best results install Edit and drag the icon to an Edit window. To keep the program short, it can't save to the Filer or transfer data via the <Wimp$Scrap> file.
