EVE SET_BOX_NOSELECT — VMS 5.4

 SET BOX NOSELECT

 (Default.)  Disables box-style selection, cutting, and pasting.  Commands
 such as SELECT, COPY, REMOVE, and so on, use standard, linear ranges.

 Usage notes:

 o  To select a box, use BOX SELECT (see help on Ranges And Boxes).

 o  If you enable box selection, then SELECT, REMOVE, STORE TEXT, and
    INSERT HERE are the same as BOX SELECT, BOX CUT, BOX COPY and BOX PASTE
    ---for example, any key defined as REMOVE works like BOX CUT without
    having to be redefined.

 o  SET BOX NOSELECT 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.
