Re: Re: emulating workspace assistant

Actually, I just go into Symbol Dictionary Setup and click on the 
"Print List" button.  The trick is that I set up a Generic/Text printer 
and set it up to print to a file.  The driver comes with all versions of 
windows.

Then I just use my text editor program (TextPad) and can grab 
whatever I want.  One nice feature is being able to capture a 
column of data so that I can get just the symbols off the "printout".  
It also has macros which let me easily strip off the page breaks.  
The whole operation between exporting and manipulating takes 
under a minute.

But I'll check out the other program for other things.  I hadn't seen 
anything like that for windows before.

"Buy Low, Sell High"
