Manipulating Blocks of Text
The Procedure Editor allows you to define and manipulate blocks of text. A block of text can be a set of contiguous characters, a whole line, several contiguous lines in a buffer, or an entire procedure.
Follow these basic steps to manipulate a block of text:
The Procedure Editor uses the Windows Clipboard for these three operations: cut, copy, and paste. When you cut or copy a block of text, the text goes onto the Clipboard and remains there until you cut or copy another block of text or exit the Procedure Editor. A paste operation inserts the contents of the Clipboard at the current cursor location.
Table 2–5 lists the set of keys that allow you to define a block and execute a text-block operation on Windows.
With this functionality, you can cut and paste code from one position to another in the current edit buffer. You can also cut and paste between edit buffers.
