9 Editing Options

This chapter describes how to use the editing options provided on the Edit menu.

The Edit Menu

The Edit menu provides a range of editing options.

●Clipboard Options

This displays the Clipboard Options dialog that enables you to specify how data is copied. The options in this dialog are described in the section Clipboard Options on page 57.

●Clear Buffer

This will erase the contents of the window and the scroll buffer.

●Copy

The Copy command becomes available when data has been selected. It will cause the currently selected text to be copied to the Clipboard in the format specified in the Clipboard Options dialog. The data can then be inserted in a different location using the Paste command. The next block of data that is copied will delete the previous block on the Clipboard.

●Paste

This will cause data that has been copied to the Clipboard to be pasted at the current cursor position. The same block of data may be pasted repeatedly as the Clipboard stores it until the Copy command is used again.

●Paste Rect

This will paste the contents of the Clipboard into the rectangular area selected by the Select Rect function.
