EVE CUT — VMS 5.2

 CUT

 Cuts the current select range or found range, which you can paste
 elsewhere (same as REMOVE).  In a buffer list, deletes the buffer whose
 name the cursor is on (similar to DELETE BUFFER).

 Steps:

    1.  Select or find the text you want to cut.
    2.  Use the CUT command.
    3.  To insert the removed text elsewhere, use PASTE or INSERT HERE.

 o  Depending on your setting, the removed text is stored in EVE's Insert
    Here buffer or in the DECwindows clipboard, replacing what you
    previously cut or copied.  The default setting is NOCLIPBOARD, which
    uses the Insert Here buffer.  See help on the SET CLIPBOARD command.

 o  When you are in the Buffer List buffer, CUT deletes a buffer without
    your having to type the buffer name, as follows:

       1.  Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you have created.
       2.  Put the cursor on the name of the buffer you want to delete.
       3.  Use CUT or REMOVE.
