[Coco] pasting text into emulated coco session on xroar?

[Joel Rees]

Sorry I've been a bit prickly about this question of pasting text into
an xroar session, I know everyone was just trying to help.

I have two kinds of source that I wanted to use cut and paste for. One
was a screen listing captured to a terminal session. I wrote a little
program to revert that to screen source this morning, which took four
hours, so I have that cleared now.

I got the source arranged into kilobyte blocks, and cat-ed the mass
together into the right size of file for the disk image (161280 bytes)
and I can work with the image using xroar the same way I did on the
real CoCo ages ago. (Yeah, to ECB, the disk looks like raw data
without a directory/file structure.)

The other is source I developed using gforth and an ancient fig-Forth
on a 6800 emulator, which runs in a terminal session, so copying and
pasting is straightforward. This source is ordinary line-oriented and
completely ignores screens. Since I can't figure mame out, I'm
thinking I'll use gedit to format the source in a form more friendly
to my Forth, then modify the program I used on the other files to
block it, and then cat it into an image. That might work.

But pasting into a session is handly, so if I can help with that,
Ciaran, let me know.

One of these days I'll get someone to pay me
to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C.
Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef,
run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define,
and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast.
