EVE COPY — VMS 5.5-2H4

 COPY

 Copies a range or box without removing it, so you can paste it elsewhere
 (same as STORE TEXT).

 Steps:

    1.  Select or find the text to copy (see help on Ranges and Boxes).

    2.  Use COPY.  A message tells you when the copying is completed.

    3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use PASTE or BOX PASTE.

 Usage notes:

 o  If you used SET BOX SELECT, then COPY uses the start and end of a found
    range as diagonally opposite corners of a box.

 o  If a found range is at the end of a selection, COPY copies the
    selection, but not the found text.

 o  Depending on your setting, the copied text is stored in EVE's Insert
    Here buffer or the DECwindows clipboard, replacing what you previously
    copied or removed to that storage area.  Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD,
    which uses the Insert Here buffer.
