Description

PCELST specifies the structure identifier of the structure to be copied.  This function creates a structure element if the referenced (source) structure is not empty. 

This function copies the elements of the specified structure into the open structure directly after the element pointer.  It then updates the pointer to the position of the last element copied.  This function operates in INSERT edit mode only. 

If the specified structure is empty or does not exist, the function causes no action to be taken. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element.
