    1. [SCHORRY-L] Martin Cemetary list-how I did it
    2. Wanda Martin
    3. Hey Ya'll, I have heard from some people on the list wanting to know how I put the Martin Cemetary list together. I will be happy to send anyone who wants it a text file of what I have put together to work from (to pull my Martin names out of). That consists of over 90 cemetaries from the Horry site in one big file (360 pages). Yep, there all in one big file and I didn't have to copy and paste each cemetary list separately into one file but I did have to do it in MS-DOS. I believe in the old saying "give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach him to fish and he eats as long as the fish are biting" BUT..I'm afraid ya'll will have to go hungry (don't think I know enough about DOS to explain how to do this or help if you get stuck as I'm just learning it myself) so I will just send it to anyone who wants it. Just let me know you want the (allcem.txt) and I will send it as an attachment. Once you get it (if you have WORD) a handy trick is to learn how to spike. Before you start spiking tho make a backup copy of the allcem.txt file. Spiking cuts what you are copying from the text and copies things to a clipboard in the order you cut them without having to stop and paste each thing separately. Then, when you paste it, it will come out like you took it off. I do know before we got Windows 95 I was using spike so anyone who has word (whatever version) might try this. BTW, you can't spike in email or any of the other programs that I know of except WORD. To spike in WORD you highlight what you want then hold the Control key down while clicking on the F3 key (this key is on the row on the top line of your keyboard). You know you did it right if that text you highlighted dissappears. You do not have to paste now..just go to the next thing you want, highlight it, press control and hit the F3 key again and it should dissappear. Do this until you are ready to paste all that you have cut. When you are ready to paste open up a new document, hold down the Control and Shift keys at the same time and click F3 again. Class is over <grin>. Wanda PS: I've been watching the weather and the tornado's in Oklahoma. Princess, are you okay?
