Cut
The Cut button deletes the selected text and places the deleted text on the clipboard
for later use. The text on the clipboard can later be inserted by the Paste command. The text
on the clipboard is also available for pasting into another application.
Copy
The Copy button copies the selected text to the clipboard for later use. The selected
text is not deleted. The text on the clipboard can later be inserted by the Paste command. The
text on the clipboard is also available for pasting into another application.
Paste
The Paste button inserts the text from the clipboard to the current cursor position.
The text that has been placed on the clipboard can also come from another application. This
function can transfer a sequence from other sequence analysis program into
WinMelt/MacMelt.
Print
The Print button will print the contents of the active window. The command will
open the standard Print dialog box that will allow you to select printing options. If the active
window is the Graph View, the graph and graphed sequence information will be printed. If the
active window is the Project View, one or all sequences will be printed. If only one sequence
is selected in the Project View, only that sequence will be printed.
New Sequence
The New Sequence button will insert an empty sequence into the project. There can
be a maximum of 50 sequences in one project.
Import Sequence
The Import Sequence button will import a sequence from a text file into the current
project. A standard File Open dialog box will be shown to select the file containing the
sequence. The sequence will be truncated to 10,000 nucleotides if longer (9,000 in Windows
3.1x). Only the nucleotide symbols "acgtu and ACGTU" are allowed. Other symbols will be
removed from the sequence. Sequence files in GenBank, EMBL, FASTA, or plain text
format will be automatically recognized.
In WinMelt the dialog box will initially show only files ending with the ".dna" extension.
Select "All files (*.*)" to show all files.
Display Sequence
The Sequence Display button will open the Sequence Display window of the selected
sequence from the project. The Sequence Display window allows editing of the sequence,
the description, melt probability calculation, and graphing option.
