This version adds the following commands:  Append All, Copy Line, and Go
to Start point.  Revised documentation is below.

When an EditBox, RichEdit, or Microsoft Word document has focus (e.g.,
Notepad, Wordpad, a dialog control, or message area in Microsoft 
Outlook),
press F8 to mark the start of a selection.  Navigate to the end point by
any means, positioning the cursor just past the last character to be
selected.  Press Shift-F8 to complete the selection, which selects text
between the start and end points.  Perform an action on the selection,
e.g., copy, cut, or delete.

Alt-Shift-F8 returns to the start point, which can thus also serve as a
temporary bookmark.  Press Control-F8 to copy all text in the control to
the clipboard, Control-Shift-F8 to append it, or Alt-F8 to read it --  
all
without moving the cursor.  Control-C copies the current line if no text
is selected.

Other keys let you read by chunk, sentence, or paragraph through the 
text.
Press Alt-Right Arrow or Alt-Left Arrow to read the next or prior chunk.
This is defined as a sequence of characters seperated by white space --
similar to a word, but without stopping on embedded punctuation symbols.
Press Alt-Down Arrow or Alt-Up Arrow to read the next or prior sentence.
Press Control-Down Arrow or Control-Up Arrow to read the next or prior
paragraph.

This global script requires GW Toolkit.
