What is it?
-----------
Have you ever tried to copy files in Workbench, on the same
disk, only finding you have to choose "Copy" from the Icons-menu,
and then move the files to the new drawer and then rename away
the "Copy of"?

Well, no more of this! Introducing the WBCopyNPaste Arexx-scripts!

The archive contains two ARexx-scripts: Copy.rexx and Paste.rexx.
Copy.rexx stores the name of the currently selected icons in the
active window, which then Paste.rexx reads, and copies to the
current active window.

Installation:
-------------
Copy "Copy.rexx" and "Paste.rexx" to S:REXX/
Configure two new keys with FKey:
 Ctrl-C
    Execute ARexx, choose the Copy.rexx-script
    Pass keypresses should be active.

    Ctrl-V
    Execute ARexx, choose the Paste.rexx-script
    Pass keypresses should be active.

Done!

Go to any open drawer, select a few files, hit Ctrl-C!
Now go to any other drawer and hit Ctrl-V and see the
files being copied.

Fetaures and limitations:
-----------------------
* Only copies from one drawer to another
* .info files are also copied (when exists)
* Does NOT ask for confirmation when overwriting
