XD (CUT) *DM* -- Cut (delete) text and write it to paste buffer.
usage: [range]xd [-r] [-f pathname | name]


FORMAT

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


  The XD command copies a range of text into a paste buffer or system file,
  then deletes the text from the pad.  This command can be used only in a
  writable pad.

  By default, the <CUT> key on keyboard 2 and CTRL/E on keyboard 1 invoke
  the XD command using the default (unnamed) paste buffer.


ARGUMENTS

  range
  (optional)       Specify range of text to be cut.  Define the range to
                   be cut as described in HELP DM RANGE.
                   Default if omitted: cut 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 cut text.  Not
                   valid if 'name' argument is present.

  -R               Specify cut for a rectangular portion of text.
