/APPEND/BUFFER/CLIPBOARD/ERASE/REPLACE/SUBSTITUTE

/APPEND

    /APPEND
    /NOAPPEND (D)

 Indicates whether the moved text should be appended to
 the current contents of the receiving buffer or should
 replace the current contents of the receiving buffer.

/BUFFER

    /BUFFER=buffer-name
    /BUFFER=$PASTE (D)

 Specifies the buffer to receive the text being moved.
 If the /REPLACE or /SUBSTITUTE qualifier is specified,
 then the indicated buffer supplies text to replace text
 being erased from the current buffer.

/CLIPBOARD

 Specifies that the DECwindows clipboard should be used
 to receive the text being moved, instead of a buffer.
 The /CLIPBOARD and /BUFFER qualifiers are mutually
 exclusive.

/ERASE

    /ERASE (D)
    /NOERASE

 Specifies whether or not the moved text should be
 deleted from the current buffer. LSE ignores this
 qualifier if the current buffer is not modifiable.

/REPLACE

 Erases the selected text and replaces it with the
 contents of the indicated buffer.

/SUBSTITUTE

 Erases the search string, replaces it with the contents
 of the buffer indicated in the /BUFFER qualifier, and
 finds the next occurrence of the string. To use this
 qualifier, do the following:

 1. Issue the SET SELECT_MARK command (press the SELECT
    key) at the command prompt.

 2. Type the new text in the buffer.

 3. Issue the CUT command (press the CUT or REMOVE key)
    at the command prompt. This places the text in the
    indicated buffer.

 4. Issue the SEARCH command (press the FIND key) at
    the command prompt, followed by the text you want to
    search for and replace.

 5. Press the ENTER key.

 6. Issue the CUT/SUBSTITUTE command (press the SUBS
    key) at the command prompt.

 Subsequently, each time you issue the CUT/SUBSTITUTE
 command, LSE makes one substitution and finds the next
 occurrence of the search string.
