Ever get tired of manually typing the same information again and again?
Dropit Pro is the fast and easy text storage and retrieval system.  To get
your stored text into another program's window, simply select it in Dropit
Pro's listbox, then click and drag from the blue bar at the left side of
Dropit Pro's window, and drop the text where you need it.  You can edit 
and save the list box to a text file, and read any text file into the list 
box.  You can sort the listbox to get the items in the order you need to 
drop multiple items with a single drag and drop.  Dropit Pro's main 
window is an "always on top" window which will stay on top of 
whatever window you're dropping text into.  Dropit Pro now has three
different methods for sending text, and will work with the vast majority
of programs, including the new IE50.  Dropit Pro has a special login file, 
which will display your login sites in the listbox while keeping your login 
name and password hidden.  Dropit Pro will also create and open truly 
encrypted and password protected listbox files, and you can keep those
files on the internet, allowing you to open the same file, no matter which
computer you're using.

Dropit Pro is the deluxe version of Dropit. It adds to Dropit's features:
  * A popup menu which lets you choose which menu commands will be offered, 
    and which can be configured to launch other programs and open files with 
    them.
  * Both recent file list and Favorites menu which will give you immediate access
    to up to ten favorite listbox files.
  * The MaxDrop companion program which is a full featured text editor, but
    with Dropit Pro's drag and drop interface.
  * Stealth mode which lets you get Dropit Pro's window out of the way while
    dropping data.
  * An Undo function which will undo the last line of text sent.
  * A tutorial which shows you how to use Dropit Pro's features.
  * A built in character generator to let you easily use extended characters
    when you edit listbox text.

If you installed Dropit Pro with the included setup program, Dropit Pro will 
be on your start menu, and can be uninstalled from Control Panel.
