XC (COPY) -- 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  low-profile  keyboards  and  CTRL/C  on  880
  keyboards invoke the XC command using the default (unnamed) paste buffer.


ARGUMENTS

  range
  (required)         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.  If the file
                     already exists, the copied text overwrites the current file
                     contents.  Not valid if 'name' argument is present.

  -R                 Specify copy for a rectangular portion of text.
