EVE BOX_CUT_OVERSTRIKE — VMS 5.5

 BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE

 Cuts (removes) a box, padding the area with spaces to keep the column
 alignment of text to the right of the box.

 Typically you use BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE if you used SET BOX NOPAD but want
 the area padded with spaces.

 Steps:

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

    2.  Use BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE.

    3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use BOX PASTE OVERSTRIKE,
        which overwrites existing text.

 Example:

    The following example shows the effects of BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE---the
    area where you cut the box (indicated by uppercase B's) is padded with
    spaces to keep the column alignment of text to to the right.

       Before          After BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE
       -----------     ------------------------
       aaa BBB ccc     aaa     ccc
       aaa BBB ccc     aaa     ccc
       aaa BBB ccc     aaa     ccc

 Usage notes:

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

 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
    cut to that storage area.  Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which uses the
    Insert Here buffer.

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