BOX PASTE
Pastes what you last cut or copied, usually overwriting existing text.
Steps:
1. Put the cursor where you want to paste the text---that is,
where you want the upper left corner of the box.
2. Use BOX PASTE---or if you used SET BOX SELECT, you can
use either INSERT HERE or PASTE.
Usage notes:
o By default, BOX PASTE overwrites existing text---unless you used SET
BOX NOPAD and paste a box into an insert-mode buffer:
Setting Effects on BOX PASTE
----------------------------------------------------------------
SET BOX PAD (Default.) BOX PASTE overwrites existing text,
regardless of the mode of the buffer.
SET BOX NOPAD BOX PASTE depends on the mode of the buffer. In
insert mode, it pushes existing text to the right.
In overstrike mode, it overwrites existing text.
To override the settings, use BOX PASTE INSERT or BOX PASTE OVERSTRIKE.
o Pasting a box converts tab characters to spaces, to the right of the
box or overlapping the box. See help on CONVERT TABS.
o Depending on your setting, the text is pasted from EVE's Insert Here
buffer or the DECwindows clipboard. Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which
uses the Insert Here buffer.
o If you copied or cut a standard, linear range (that is, by using COPY,
CUT, REMOVE or STORE TEXT) and then use BOX PASTE, the pasted box may
have a ragged right edge.
