EVE STORE_TEXT — VMS 5.5

 STORE TEXT

 Copies a range or box without removing it, so you can insert it elsewhere
 (same as COPY).

 Key:   EVE defines GOLD-REMOVE on the mini keypad as STORE TEXT.

 Steps:

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

    2.  Use STORE TEXT.  A message tells you the copying is completed.

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

 Usage notes:

 o  If you used SET BOX SELECT, then STORE TEXT 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, STORE TEXT copies the
    selection, but not the found text.

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

 o  GOLD-REMOVE is a "sleeper" key---it is defined by default, but the
    definition must be activated by setting a GOLD key or by setting the
    EDT or WPS keypad.  See help on Gold Keys.
