   Hello Terry!   
      
   Winpoint is a windows-gui program. It is not possible to copy-paste into     
   goggle translate.  The "words" are part of the button/graphic.   
      
   Eg:   
      
   [1] http://pics.rsh.ru/img/wp-1_8tf5jx5h.jpg   
   [2] http://pics.rsh.ru/img/wp-2_qkqa7x44.jpg   
   [3] http://pics.rsh.ru/img/wp-3_0jm9slva.jpg   
      
   And.. by the time I commit some of the words to memory and reach     
   translate, I forget the proper spelling.   
      
   Only a few places in Windows have icons with the words, so the function is     
   easier to figure out.  Eg [1] above.   
      
   But somethig like [2] and [3] is harder to work with.   
      
   If I were to use Winpoint more often, something like Abschicken is funny     
   enough and easy enough to remember, so.. it wouldn't be that bad afterall.
