EVE BOX_COPY — VMS 5.5

 BOX COPY

 Copies a box, without removing it, so you can paste it elsewhere.

 Steps:

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

    2.  Use BOX COPY---or if you used SET BOX SELECT, you can use COPY
        or STORE TEXT.  A message tells you the copying is completed.

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

 Usage notes:

 o  With a standard, linear range, BOX COPY uses the start and end of the
    range as diagonally opposite corners.

 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.
