7.0;xp (paste) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/18
XP (PASTE) *DM* -- Paste (write) buffered text into pad.
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.
  This command can be used only in a writable pad.

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


ARGUMENTS

  [name]
  (optional)       Specify paste buffer name.  Text is copied from
                   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.

  -R               Specify paste of a rectangular portion of text.
