   Thanks to Herbert Kleebauer's prior suggestions, I have a series of   
   template-creating batch files now, all invoked easily in a Runbox.   
      
   When I want template #1 for example, I type "1" in the Runbox.   
   When I want template #2, I type "2"; "3" for template #3, etc.   
      
   All the batch files are the same - they just seed a different template into   
   the Windows clipboard using the "pipe to clip" Herbert had suggested.   
      
   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\1.exe   
    @Default = c:\path\seedclip_template1.bat   
   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\2.exe   
    @Default = c:\path\seedclip_template2.bat   
   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\3.exe   
    @Default = c:\path\seedclip_template3.bat   
      
   Where the general form of the "seed to clip" for templates is   
      
    @echo off   
    REM This seeds the Windows clipboard for subsequent pastes   
    type C:\path\template.txt|clip   
      
   When you are in any file, you just type "1" into the Runbox,   
   and then you Control+V the template from the clipboard into it.   
      
   The nice thing is you can create delimiter templates of any length with   
   subsequent pastes, so you only really need one set of delimiters.   
    @echo off   
    REM seedclip.bat seeds the Windows clipboard for subsequent pastes   
    (for /l %%i in (1,1,10) do @echo ==============================   
   ==============================================&echo.)|clip   
      
   I am still using Herbert's spelling alt.msdos.bat program which   
   verbally challenges you to spell all the words that you misspell!
