usage: xp [-r] [-f pathname | name]
FORMAT
XP [-R] [-F pathname | name]
The XP command inserts the contents of a paste buffer or system file into
a pad at the current cursor position. The contents of the paste buffer
or file are unchanged by this command, making multiple insertions possible.

By default, the <PASTE> key on keyboard 2 and CTRL/O on keyboard 1 invoke
the XP command using the default (unnamed) paste buffer.

the named buffer. 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 provide paste text. Not
valid if 'name' argument is present.
