[Blindtlk] Filing print papers

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

I think he may be talking about the "rabbit ear" clips that many offices use 
to keep files together.  There also the folders that have the traditional 
fold-over brads for the 3-hole papers.  The Rabbit-ear clips are 4-inch long 
mettal strips that come up from the back of the paper and fold over--just 
like the shorter brads.
