XC (COPY) *DM* -- Copy text to paste buffer.
usage: [range]xc [-r] [-f pathname | name]


FORMAT

  [range]XC [-R] [-F pathname | name]


  The XC command copies a range of text from any pad into a paste buffer
  or system file.  The copied text remains undisturbed.

  By default, the <COPY> key on keyboard 2 and CTRL/C on keyboard 1 invoke
  the XC command using the default (unnamed) paste buffer.


ARGUMENTS

  range
  (optional)       Specify range of text to be copied.  Define the range to
                   be copied as described in HELP DM RANGE.
                   Default if omitted: copy from cursor to end of line
  name
  (optional)       Specify paste buffer name.  Text is written to
                   the named buffer.  If text is copied to a buffer
                   that has previously been used, the new text
                   overwrites the old.  You may have up to 100
                   buffers open per log in session.
                   Default if omitted: use unnamed buffer


OPTIONS

  -F pathname      Specify system file to receive copied text.  Not
                   valid if 'name' argument is present.

  -R               Specify copy for a rectangular portion of text.
