I am having difficulty with...

Submitted by Curious (not verified) on February 13, 2006 - 5:46pm.

I am having difficulty with the first one.

I can invoke QS and append text to a specific file, no problems. However, when I make the trigger - as per your instructions - and keep the third pane empty, I am not seeing how it is I actually get my text “in” there. Just before activating the trigger I have tried copying the text, just having it selected, but neither seems to work and I can’t think of anything else.

I am sure I am missing some ridiculously simple thing, but like most things under your nose, you never notice them.
