Description: IClear is a module which makes it easier to delete text from a writable icon. Under RISC OS, to replace the text in such an icon with new text, you first have to either delete all the characters of the old text or press Ctrl-U to clear it. This can be a nuisance, especially if you have just selected the icon with the mouse, as you first have to transfer to the keyboard, then press Ctrl-U before you can type in your new text. With IClear running, simply double-click on the writable icon, using either Select or Adjust. The icon will be inverted, which usually means that it will turn black with white text. As soon as you press a key, the text in the icon will vanish, to be replaced with the character that you typed. If you change your mind after inverting the icon and decide you want to keep your existing text, a further click with any mouse button anywhere on the screen will de-invert the icon and put things back to normal. This software will work with writable icons (button type 15) and also draggable writable icons (button type 14) but not with writable menu items.
