       I.   Introduction

       Thank you for trying WRDGRB.  With WRDGRB installed, you will no
       longer type words or other text you see on the DOS screen!
       Instead, you will press the hot-key sequence, highlight text with
       your mouse, and left click to copy it to the command line (or
       right click to cancel).  WRDGRB even connects a filename to its
       extension when both are highlighted in a directory listing.

            This 23K memory resident or terminate and stay resident
       (TSR) program is safe to run on a Pentium processor since it does
       not perform any floating point divisions of large numbers.  In
       addition, FileJockey Software does not release products with
       known bugs.

            If you decide to keep this program, paying the $35 license
       and registration fee will result in your receiving:

       1) WRDGRB and maximizing-available-memory tips,
       2) technical support,
       3) notices of updates and bug fixes, and
       4) a code to bypass the registration reminder screen.

       In addition, you will be promoting continuing product development
       and using this program legally.  Otherwise, you may not keep the
       individual files on your PC.  But, you may keep the .ZIP file.  A
       registration form containing my postal address is provided for
       you in the file WRDGRB.REG.

            Send comments, suggestions and problem reports to me at
       71573,1023 by CompuServe e-mail, at 71573.1023@compuserve.com by




       Internet e-mail, or at my postal address.  I plan to read each
       one, but, if I receive a large amount of mail, I may not be able
       to reply to each letter.

            WRDGRB requires an installed mouse and DOS 3.0 or later.


       II.  How to Use

       II.A.  Installing to Memory

       To install WRDGRB, enter

                                    WRDGRB

       at the DOS prompt.  You may wish to install this program from
       your AUTOEXEC.BAT start-up file.  Do not install this program
       when you are using the go-to-DOS feature of an application
       program unless you remove WRDGRB from memory before returning to
       the application program.  See Appendix A for program options.


       II.B.  Unloading from Memory

       To remove WRDGRB from memory, enter

                                   WRDGRB /U

       at the DOS prompt.  Then, WRDGRB sends an unload/deactivate order
       to its in-memory copy, prints the first part of the status
       message:

                                 WRDGRB is ...

       and returns to the DOS prompt.  Within one second, the TSR will
       finish the status message with either "unloaded" or "trying".
       "Trying" will be changed to either "unloaded" or "deactivated"
       within another 1 1/2 seconds, depending on whether any programs
       loaded after WRDGRB are still in memory.

            If the "deactivated" message is printed and you still want
       to unload WRDGRB, remove any subsequently loaded programs and
       issue the unload command again.  To reactivate the program, enter
       WRDGRB again.


       II.C.  At the DOS Screen

       When you see a filename, word or other text that you would like
       to copy to the command line, press <Ctrl>-<Right Shift>-W to




                                    Page 2




       activate WRDGRB and the mouse cursor.  Use the mouse cursor as
       you normally would to highlight text.

            For example, position the cursor at the start of a word,
       press and hold down the left button, and drag the cursor to the
       right one space past the word.  As you do so, the word will be
       highlighted.  Release the mouse button.  At this point, you may
       type text to go before the highlighted word.  (You may also type
       text after activating WRDGRB but before highlighting text.)

            Then, click the left mouse button to copy the selected text
       to the command line or the right button to cancel the selection.
       In either case, the highlighted text will be restored to how it
       was if you don't change its position by pressing <Enter>, for
       example.  If you double left or right click, the selection will
       be handled as above but the mouse cursor will re-appear to wait
       for another selection.  See the table below.


                             Left Button       |     Right Button
                      -------------------------------------------------
       Single click   |       send text        |        cancel        |
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       Double click   |      send text &       |       cancel &       |
                      |   wait for more text   |  wait for more text  |
                      -------------------------------------------------


            You can also highlight an entire word at once by double
       left-clicking on it.  (A word is defined to be a sequence of
       valid DOS filename characters plus dot (.), question mark (?) and
       star (*).  See your DOS manual for a complete list.)  Once you
       have double clicked on a word, you can continue to highlight text
       to the right by holding down the left mouse button and dragging
       the mouse to the right.

            If you highlight a filename and its extension as part of a
       directory listing, WRDGRB will send the name to the command line
       in the form FILENAME.EXT.  In other words, the intermediate
       space(s) will be changed to a single period.

            WRDGRB works in the 25 x 80, 43 x 80 and 50 x 80 text screen
       modes.


       II.D.  In a Windows 3.1 DOS Box

       WRDGRB works in a full screen Windows 3.1 DOS window.  However,
       you may need to add the line

                                MouseinDOSBox=1



                                    Page 3




       to the [NonWindowsApp] section of Windows 3.1's SYSTEM.INI file.
       If you install WRDGRB after starting Windows, be sure to remove
       it before closing the DOS window.


       II.E.  Copying to an Application Program

       Although WRDGRB can be used with some application programs, it is
       not designed for this purpose.  When doing so, be careful not to
       press a mouse button until you are ready to send the highlighted
       text to the program.  In addition, you may need to press a shift
       key after sending text in order for the program to realize that
       there is keyboard input to read.

            Problems that may occur include your computer freezing if
       you later call WRDGRB from DOS and losing the mouse cursor.  To
       restore the cursor, use the application program's go-to-DOS
       feature and return (by entering EXIT).  The program should then
       redraw the screen and restore the mouse cursor.


       Appendices

       A.   Command Line Switches

       Entering
                                   WRDGRB /?

       produces the following summary of command line switches or
       options:

       WRDGRB [switches]

       /U        Unload WRDGRB from memory
       /L        Allow including the last screen column
       /N        Do not print pop-up instructions
       /D:sss    Mouse double click threshold (in 1/1000 seconds)
       /H:x      Hot key letter to use with <Ctrl>-<Right shift>
       /R:nnnnn  Recognition code: choose a 5 digit whole number < 32767
       /S        Display SiteCode (and re-write WRDGRB.REG)
                 Follow /L or /N with '-' to override WRDGRB.INI
                 setting(s)

            When you highlight text, the mouse cursor position is
       normally not part of the selected text.  This prevents you from
       including characters in column 80 in the selected text.  If you
       think that you might want to include these characters, use the /L
       switch.  This causes WRDGRB to include the following character
       whenever a column 79 character is highlighted.  If you set this




                                    Page 4




       feature to be on in WRDGRB.INI, you may use /L- to turn it off
       when loading WRDGRB.

            The default double click threshold is 1/2 a second.  If
       within this time you click the same button twice, it will
       register as a double click.  You can change the threshold to a
       positive time delay less than 32.7 seconds.  For comparison,
       Windows 3.1's mouse dialog box allows thresholds between 0.1 and
       0.9 seconds with a default of 0.452 seconds.

            Since another TSR might choose the same hot key sequence,
       the /H switch allows you to change the letter that you press
       along with <Ctrl> and <Right shift> to activate WRDGRB.  Note
       that PCs distinguish between the right and left shift buttons
       under certain circumstances.

            You will need to change WRDGRB's or another TSR's
       recognition code if both use the same code and you wish to have
       both in memory at the same time.  This code is a number WRDGRB
       stores in memory to prevent installing two copies of itself.  You
       will know that changing the code is necessary if either program
       incorrectly reports that it is already loaded.  Then, if you
       decide to change WRDGRB's code, select any positive five digit
       whole number less than 32,767 and try installing WRDGRB with this
       number using the /R option.  If you changed the recognition code,
       you must tell WRDGRB the new code when unloading the program.
       Once a recognition code works for you, place it on the
       RecognitionCode= line of WRDGRB.INI.

            If you decide to load WRDGRB when a list of files is already
       on the screen, use the /N switch to reduce the number of lines
       the screen will scroll.  In particular, WRDGRB/N does not print
       instructions for activating itself.  This setting can be placed
       in WRDGRB.INI and overridden by /N-.

            WRDGRB will occasionally display a registration-reminder
       screen when initializing unless you place the bypass code in the
       initialization file.  This code depends on another code
       (SiteCode) that appears on this screen.  In addition, this screen
       contains a button to write WRDGRB.REG with your computer's
       SiteCode on the appropriate line.  To force this screen to
       appear, enter WRDGRB/S.  For more information, see Appendix C.


       B.   Initialization File (WRDGRB.INI)

       As shipped, the initialization file looks like this:

       [Defaults]
       DoubleClick=
       LastColumn=



                                    Page 5




       HotLetter=
       RecognitionCode=
       NoInstructions=

       [Registration]
       RegKey=
       Notified=NO

            The items in the Defaults section correspond to command-line
       switches.  For LastColumn and NoInstructions, you can use a non-
       zero number, YES, Y, TRUE, T, or ON to select the feature.  When
       loading WRDGRB, you can turn off these features by using /L- or
       /N-, respectively.  Briefly, the purpose of LastColumn is to
       allow including column 80 and the benefit of NoInstructions is to
       reduce the number of lines that scroll off the screen when WRDGRB
       is loaded.

            In order to turn off the registration-reminder screen (see
       Appendix C), you need to place the correct code after the equal
       sign on the "RegKey=" line.  This code depends on information
       about your computer that is summarized in a SiteCode.

            Once you place a code on that line, the program will test it
       and tell you whether or not it is correct.  Afterwards, Notified
       will be set to YES.  This feature is useful since the random
       occurrences of the registration-reminder screen prevent easily
       determining if the registration key is correct.

            The program will look for WRDGRB.INI in the same directory
       containing WRDGRB and WGINIT.  If it doesn't find this file, it
       will give you the option of either editing the path and filename
       or not reading it.


       C.  Registration-Reminder Screen

       To inspire you to register WRDGRB, the program may display a
       reminder screen before it finishes initializing itself.  This
       screen will not appear every time since its use is affected by a
       random number generator.  Registered users can bypass this screen
       with the system-specific registration key (RegKey).  The key for
       your computer depends on a four-character code (SiteCode) that is
       printed on this screen.  SiteCodes are not affected by installing
       or deleting programs, creating or deleting files, or changing
       configuration files.

            One of the buttons on this screen will produce a version of
       WRDGRB.REG that contains your SiteCode.  To force this screen to
       appear, enter WRDGRB/S.





                                    Page 6




            As part of the response to your payment and SiteCode, you
       will receive the appropriate RegKey by e-mail or postal mail,
       depending on whether or not you include an e-mail address.  Place
       this key on the "RegKey=" line of WRDGRB.INI.


       D.   Troubleshooting

       WRDGRB Cannot Initialize Itself:

       WRDGRB calls WGINIT.EXE for initialization in order to reduce its
       permanent memory needs.  WGINIT.EXE must be in the same directory
       as WRDGRB.EXE.  You may need to extract WGINIT.EXE from
       WRDGRB.ZIP or copy it from where it is stored.


       ^W Appears When I Try to Activate WRDGRB:

       If WRDGRB is loaded, make sure you are pressing the <Right Shift>
       key along with a <Ctrl> key and the hot-key letter.  If you
       forgot the hot-key letter, enter WRDGRB/N-.  It will not load
       another copy of itself (unless you have changed its recognition
       code with the /R switch or RecognitionCode= in WRDGRB.INI).
       Instead, it will re-activate the mouse and remind you of the hot-
       key sequence.  If you are not certain if WRDGRB is loaded, enter
       WRDGRB/N-.  Or, you could use the DOS MEM command (DOS 4.0 or
       later) or a system information utility to list your memory
       resident or TSR programs.


       WRDGRB is Loaded But I Cannot Find the Mouse Cursor:

       Try moving the mouse around.  Try entering WRDGRB/N-.  If those
       don't work, you may need to unload WRDGRB and reload it.  On rare
       occasions, it may be necessary to reboot your computer.
