SET BOX SELECT

 Enables box editing, making SELECT, REMOVE, INSERT HERE, and other
 commands or keys the same as the corresponding BOX commands.

 Example:

    The following commands enable box selection, making SELECT and REMOVE
    the same as BOX SELECT and BOX CUT respectively:

       Command: SET BOX SELECT
       Command: SELECT
                   .
                   .
       Command: REMOVE

 Usage notes:

 o  SET BOX SELECT makes the following commands (or defined keys or menu
    items) work like BOX commands:

       Commands                     Effects with SET BOX SELECT
       --------------------------------------------------------
       INSERT HERE or PASTE         BOX PASTE
       REMOVE  or  CUT              BOX CUT
       RESTORE SELECTION            RESTORE BOX SELECTION
       SELECT                       BOX SELECT
       STORE TEXT or COPY           BOX COPY

    For example, you can select and cut a box by using the SELECT and
    REMOVE keys.  The setting also applies to pending delete operations and
    to some EDT and WPS keys, such as the EDT Append key and the WPS Cut
    and Paste keys.  See help on Ranges And Boxes.

 o  SET BOX SELECT also affects editing a found range.  Editing operations
    such as COPY, FILL, REMOVE, or UPPERCASE use the start and end of a
    found range as the diagognally opposite corners or a box.

 o  If you use SET BOX SELECT, you cannot select a standard, linear range.
    Typically you use SET BOX SELECT when you are frequently cutting and
    pasting columns, such as in editing tables, and do not want to define
    or redefine keys for box editing.  In effect, the command redefines
    keys for you.

 o  Default is SET BOX NOSELECT, which lets you select standard, linear
    ranges.

 o  SET BOX SELECT is a global attribute, applying in all buffers.  To save
    your setting for future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create
    a section file or to create or update a command file (see help on
    Attributes).  However, in general you should save SET BOX NOSELECT (the
    default setting) so you can edit linear ranges as well as boxes.
