Assistant/2 (the successor of Extended Clipboard/2) is a 
WPS extension which is designed to make work with OS/2 more
comfortable in various ways.It can now be downloaded from 
ftp.bmtmicro.com/bmtmicro/assist10.zip .

Extended Clipboard

EClip offers new and improved functions to use the 
clipboard more efficiently. Because extensive changing 
between source and destination is no longer required, 
the clipboard becomes an even more universal aid. With 
EClip it is possible to copy all needed clips into the
clipboard first and paste them into the destination 
application later. 

Drag&Drop

With Assistant/2 you can Drag&Drop pieces of text from one 
application to another. This works with almost every 
PM-application which supports the clipboard as well as with 
windowed VIOs. If you drop a piece of text on the desktop,
Assistant/2 will create a clip object that is compatible 
with Extended Clipboard. If the dragged text is an URL it 
can create a URL object.

Macros

Keyboard and mouse events can be recorded with the 
integrated macro recorder. It is also possible to write a 
macro with any text editor or to edit an already recorded 
macro. Since macros are special text clips, everything 
that you can do with text clips is applicable to macros as 
well. Especially the hotkeys make macros a very powerful 
feature. Dynamic macros can be used to generate macros on 
runtime. So it is possible to insert the current date into 
your application or to change the case of selected letters! Other macros included: Open text as URL, add text to file.

Hotkeys and Hottext

You can assign a hotkey or a sequence of keys (hottext) to 
clips and macros. If you need a certain clip frequently, 
assign a hotkey (hottext) to it. The clip will be pasted 
and macros will be played everytime you press the hotkey 
in a PM application. The mousebuttons and Win keys can
be used as hotkeys, too.

Popup Menus

Create flexibly configurable popup menus which are
accessable from almost every PM application by hotkey 
(mouse button). The structure of the menu is read from the 
folder you have chosen.

English and German versions are included and registrations 
for Extended Clipboard/2 are valid for Assistant/2 as well!
