MOVE
TEDIT Commands
058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–113
How to Use
Place the cursor on or within the text item that you want to move and enter
the MOVE command with a text item (such as SENTENCE).
To insert this text into another window (either opened to the same file or to
another file), place the cursor at a new location and enter the RETRIEVE
command.
To insert this text in another file that isn’t open, enter:
Command: WRITE SCRATCHPAD, FILENAME
If you enter a WRITE command with a pre-existing file name, TEDIT adds
this new text to the end of the existing text.
What Happens
MOVE places the text in the scratchpad and removes the text from your file.
A copy of the text item stays in the scratchpad until you:
Exit TEDIT, or
Enter the EMPTYSCRATCHPAD command to clear it, or
Enter a RETRIEVE command followed by a COPY or MOVE command.
Tips
When you use MOVE and a repeat count with a CHARACTER, LINE,
PARAGRAPH, SECTION, SENTENCE, or WORD, TEDIT sees these
text items as a region (see Section 2 for a description of a region).
Therefore, when you move these text items to the scratchpad, all line
boundaries are retained. For a repeat count with MOVE SENTENCE,
the line boundary is retained only when it overlaps more than one line
(see “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details about how to use the repeat
count).
