A HandStory Clip is a file that contains clipping rules that are followed when a user clips information from a Web document. Depending on the clipping method used, HandStory Clips are either Direct Clips or Script Clips, the main difference being the format of the original Web document.

• Direct Clips
  Direct Clip is the clipping method used when the original Web document does not require complicated conversion rules to be directly displayed on the PDA, either because the page contains mostly text, or because it is already designed for PDA displays. Using HandStory Clip Editor, users can easily create a Direct Clip by simply setting up the target URL, specifying the link depth, and setting a few more options.

• Script Clips
  Script Clip is the clipping method used when the original document is a general Web site that requires special conversion to display properly on the PDA. Therefore, Script Clip rules are more complex than Direct Clip rules. For a full description on the clipping rules of Script Clips, please refer to the HandStory Clip Script Manual.

Due to the difference between the two clipping methods explained above, managing, creating, editing, and deleting clips for each method will vary. More details about HandStory Clip Editor are explained below.
