EDIT

Enables you to manipulate a whole block of text in a paragraph, as opposed to individual characters. The options on the SELECTION Command Menu, which is displayed when you choose SELECT, allow you to select the block (identify it for ThinkTank) and copy, delete, or move it. Among the possible options, only the ones that are currently available appear on the menu:

*START: Begins a new selection at the flashing cur- sor and enters SELECT mode. Once you start a selec- tion, you define it by moving the cursor to another position. (Command key CTRL—S)

*FINISH: Concludes SELECT mode and defines the selec- tion as currently shown. (Command key CTRL—S)

*UNDO: Terminates SELECT mode and cancels the cur- rent selection, resulting in no selection. (Command key CTRL—N)

*DELETE: Concludes SELECT mode and deletes the cur- rent selection. (Command key CTRL—D)

*COPY: Makes a copy of the current selection at the flashing cursor. Maintains the current selection and (unless the cursor lies within it) concludes SELECT mode. (Command key CTRL—C)

*ESCAPE: Maintains the current selection (if there is one) and returns to the Top Level of the text editor. (Command key ESC)

See the reference guide listing under each option for further information.
