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.
