use the services menu?
I read this hint, and SOX's comment, but I have to confess I still don't know what the heck either of you are talking about.

Text Wielder
Versiontracker has some beta software called "Text Wielder" which seems to consist mainly of a bunch of text-manipulating scripts to be used as Services. You can modify the included scripts or add your own. |
