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.
