COPY or MOVE command, TEDIT replaces all existing text in the
scratchpad. For example, this is how a sequence of commands affects
the scratchpad:
a. COPY LINE adds a line to scratchpad.
b. COPY REGION adds a region to scratchpad.
c. RETRIEVE copies scratchpad contents to your file.
d. RETRIEVE copies same contents to your file.
