REMOVE
(Same as CUT.) Removes 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 remove (see help on Ranges and Boxes).
2. Use REMOVE (see key list above).
3. To paste the text elsewhere, use INSERT HERE 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 REMOVE 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, REMOVE cuts 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
copied or removed to that storage area. Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD,
which uses the Insert Here buffer.
o In the Buffer List, REMOVE 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 REMOVE or CUT to delete that buffer.
For more information, see help on DELETE BUFFER.
o If you use REMOVE in an unmodifiable buffer, EVE does a STORE TEXT or
BOX COPY instead.
o Setting the WPS keypad redefines REMOVE on the mini keypad as WPS Cut,
which can use alternate paste buffers but does not use the clipboard.
