PASTE
Pastes the range or box you last cut or copied (same as INSERT HERE).
Steps:
1. Put the cursor where you want to paste the text.
2. Use PASTE.
Usage notes:
o By default, PASTE inserts the text as a linear range, pushing existing
text to the right and down.
o SET BOX SELECT makes PASTE the same as BOX PASTE, usually overwriting
existing text. If you used SET BOX NOPAD, pasting a box into an
insert-mode buffer pushes existing text to the right of the box---
useful to add columns in the middle of a table.
o Depending on your setting, the text is copied from EVE's Insert Here
buffer or the DECwindows clipboard. Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which
uses the Insert Here buffer.
o To view the Insert Here buffer---for example, to check what you last
copied or cut---use the command BUFFER INSERT HERE.
o PASTE does not automatically rewrap text. Depending on where and how
much text you paste, your text may go past the right margin or even out
of view. To reformat your text, use FILL.
