USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

The following instructions assume you are using Opus 5.66+ so the commands are
available in the lister pop-up menu.  However the operation is the same if
you have added the commands to toolbar icons or the lister command menu.

1. Ensure "Name Mode PopUp" is enabled in "Environment/Lister Options".
2. Open a name mode lister of a directory with some files/dirs.
3. RMB click on a file or dir to cause the menu to pop-up and select "Copy".
   Note that the item is not actually copied anywhere just yet.
4. Open another name mode lister in another directory (or change the original
   lister to a different directory), and using the lister pop-up menu, (RMB
   click on a lister border), select "Paste".
5. The file or directory will be copied to that directory and the original
   will be left untouched.
6. The clipboard still contains the file or dir so you can paste it again
   somewhere else or even add more items to the clipboard.

· Selecting "Cut" from the file/dir pop-up menu will move it when the "Paste"
  command is selected.  It will not be removed from its original location until
  the "Paste" command has been successfully executed (it uses the internal
  DOpus "move" command).  The clipboard will always be cleared after attempting
  to paste "cut" items.

· To cut or copy multiple files/dirs, select (highlight) them with the left
  mouse button, then select "Cut" or "Copy" from the lister pop-up menu
  (activated by clicking with the right mouse on the lister border).  All other
  commands then act in the same way for any number of items.

· To add more items to the clipboard select "Add To Clipboard" from the menus.
  You can alter this behaviour of Cut'n'Paste - see configuration.

· RMB click on a directory (or disk icon on the desktop) and select
  "Paste Into" to paste the item(s) into that directory or the root
  directory of the disk.

· Select "Paste As..." or "Paste Into As..." to rename the file(s)/dir(s)
  (using the "MoveAs" and "CopyAs" internal DOpus commands).

· Selecting "Paste Links..." will paste links to the items in the clipboard.
  Note that you can only do this if the items are on the same disk or
  partition.  I do not recommend you use links as they can cause problems with
  some disk repair programs leading to enormous data losses.  You can turn
  these menu items off if you don't intend to use them - check the
  configuration section.

· You can paste the clipboard items into an LhA, LZX or ZIP archive by right-
  clicking on the archive and selecting "Paste Into Archive".  Note that this
  command appears on the menu separately from "Cut", "Copy" and "Add".  You
  will need the appropriate archiver programs and you will need to have
  filetypes set up for these archives.  You may also need to alter the
  configuration of Cut'n'Paste.

· If you cut or copy a file or directory with the filetype pop-up menu and it
  has an icon, the icon can be automatically cut or copied too.  See the
  configuration section for further information about this.

· Note that the "Cut", "Copy" and "Add" commands in the lister pop-up menus or
  lister toolbars do not work in icon or icon action mode listers.  Use the
  filetype pop-up menus or name mode listers instead.

You can view the current contents of the clipboard, and whether the item(s)
will be cut or copied when pasted, by selecting "View Clipboard Contents..."
from the lister pop-up menu.  You are then able to paste the items into the
lister you selected "View..." from, if you wish.  You can toggle the cut or
copy status of the clipboard from this requester.

To clear the contents select "Clear Clipboard Contents" from the lister pop-up
menu.  You can also access this through the "View..." requesters.

If all this sounds complicated, play around with it and you'll soon work it
out!  It's much easier than it sounds!!!

If you can do the following you're not doing too badly:
·  Copy some files to the clipboard and paste them somewhere else.
·  Then add some more files to the clipboard and paste all of them into
   an archive.
·  Then select "View" and select "Toggle cut/copy" so the items are now cut.
·  Right-click on a directory and select "Paste Into" - all items in the
   clipboard will be moved to this location and the clipboard is cleared.

If you would like to use Cut'n'Paste through the lister toolbar instead of
menus then check these instructions.  If you are using an earlier version of
DOpus than 5.66 you will need to do this to use Cut'n'Paste.
