Sorry if this message dupes, but I didn't find it in echo after posting.

Microsoft doesn't bother mentioning anything at all. :) Only obvious
features that existed ten years ago even in its own programs, in ads. :)
As for DOS Navigator, calculator seems to be enough-documented there. A bad
feature of  highlighting but not selecting to copy  is not documented,
though. And RITLabs called Clipboard a "pocket" in Russian. :-\
DN's help is not by any means perfect... it lacks so much - especially, the
Necromancer's DOS Navigator help. Programmers usually are not help
writers... :-(

Do you mean it saves formatting pretty well when pasted from Word?

=^..^= Good luck! +++
