SET BOX NOPAD

 Disables padding and overstriking for box editing, unless the mode of the
 buffer is overstrike.

 Usage notes:

 o  SET BOX NOPAD makes box editing depend on the mode of the buffer (as
    shown in the status line):

    Mode of Buffer    Effects with SET BOX NOPAD
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    INSERT            Cutting a box, or erasing a box selection with
                      pending delete, makes text to the right of the box
                      "collapse" to the left, closing the gap.  Pasting or
                      restoring a box pushes existing text to the right.

    OVERSTRIKE        Cutting a box, or erasing a box selection with
                      pending delete, pads the area with spaces to keep
                      the column aligment of text to the right of the box.
                      Pasting or restoring a box overwrites existing text.
                      In other words, in an overstrike-mode buffer, box
                      editing is the same as with SET BOX PAD.

 o  Default is SET BOX PAD, which makes box editing independent of the mode
    of the buffer---cutting and pasting boxes always pad and overstrike.

 o  To override the setting, use either BOX CUT INSERT and BOX PASTE
    INSERT, or BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE and BOX PASTE OVERSTRIKE.

 o  SET BOX NOPAD is a global attribute, applying in all buffers.  To save
    your setting for future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create
    a section file or to create or update a command file.  See help on
    Attributes.
