EVE BOX_CUT_INSERT — VMS 5.5

 BOX CUT INSERT

 Cuts (removes) a box, making text to the right of the box "collapse" to
 the left, closing the gap.

 Steps:

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

    2.  Use BOX CUT INSERT.

    3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use BOX PASTE INSERT,
        which pushes existing text to the right of the box.

 Example:

    The following example shows the effects of BOX CUT INSERT---text to the
    right of the box "collapses" to the the left, closing the gap.  The box
    is indicated by uppercase B's.

       Before         After BOX CUT INSERT
       ---------      --------------------
       aaaBBBccc      aaaccc
       aaaBBBccc      aaaccc
       aaaBBBccc      aaaccc

 Usage notes:

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

 o  By default, cutting a box pads the area with spaces to keep the column
    alignment of text to the right---same as BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE.  Use BOX
    CUT INSERT to override this effect, for example, to convert a three-
    column table to a two-column table.

 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 Insert
    Here buffer or the DECwindows clipboard, replacing what you previously
    copied or cut to that storage area.  Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which
    uses the Insert Here buffer.

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