EVE CUT — VMS 5.5

 CUT

 (Same as REMOVE.) Cuts a range or box which you can paste elsewhere.  In
 the Buffer List, deletes the buffer whose name the cursor is on.

 Steps:

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

    2.  Use CUT.

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

 Usage notes:

 o  Cutting a standard, linear range makes text after the range move left
    or up, similar to erasing text.  Text does not automatically rewrap.
    To reformat your text, use FILL.

 o  Cutting a box usually pads the area with spaces to keep the column
    alignment of text to the right of the box, and pasting a box usually
    overwrites existing text (such as the padding spaces).  If you used SET
    BOX NOPAD, cutting a box from insert-mode buffer makes text to the
    right of the box "collapse" to the left, closing the gap, and pasting a
    box pushes existing text to the right.

 o  If you used SET BOX SELECT, then CUT uses the start and end of a found
    range as diagonally opposite corners of a box.

 o  If a found range is at the end of a selection, CUT removes the
    selection, but not the found text.

 o  Depending on your setting, the removed text is stored in EVE's Insert
    Here buffer or the DECwindows clipboard, replacing what you previously
    cut or copied to that storage area.  Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which
    uses the Insert Here buffer.

 o  In the Buffer List, 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 CUT or REMOVE to delete that buffer.

    For more information, see help on DELETE BUFFER.

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