    Hi everyone! I'm hoping that someone can help me out with this. My memory is not what it used to be, I've been trying to remember the name of a utility I used on my Amiga 1000 (or maybe A2000). The utility would allow a person to select text everywhere, even programs that didn't support text selection. I used that to copy text and paste it somewhere else (usually some BBS).

    This is so frustrating!!! Can anyone help an old lady out?

    Replying to myself because I did find the answer: PowerSnap! As long as it
    can recognize the font being used, PowerSnap can select and copy it to the clipboard. And as long as the program you want to paste into supports
    pasting from a clipboard, it's easy-peasy.
