EVE BOX_CUT — VMS 5.5

 BOX CUT

 Cuts a box so you can paste it elsewhere.  In the Buffer List, deletes a
 buffer whose name the cursor is on.

 Steps:

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

    2.  Use BOX CUT---or if you used SET BOX SELECT, use CUT or REMOVE.

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

 Usage notes:

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

 o  By default, BOX CUT pads the area with spaces to keep the column
    alignment of text to the right of the box---unless you used SET BOX
    NOPAD and cut a box from an insert-mode buffer:

       Setting           Effects on BOX CUT
       ------------------------------------------------------------------
       SET BOX PAD       (Default.)  BOX CUT pads with spaces, regardless
                         of the mode of the buffer.

       SET BOX NOPAD     BOX CUT depends on the mode of the buffer.
                         In insert mode, text to the right of the box
                         "collapses" to the left, closing the gap.  In
                         overstrike mode, the area is padded with spaces.

    To override the settings, use BOX CUT INSERT or BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE.

 o  Cutting 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 removed text is stored in EVE's 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.

 o  In the Buffer List, BOX CUT deletes a buffer without your having to
    type the buffer name, as follows:

       1.  Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you created.
       2.  Put the cursor on the name of the buffer you want to delete.
       3.  Use BOX CUT, REMOVE, or CUT to delete that buffer.

    For more information, see help on DELETE BUFFER.

 o  If you use BOX CUT in an unmodifiable buffer, EVE does a BOX COPY
    instead.
