                     MARK, COPY, CUT, and PASTE (or "Yank")


Press the MARK key to mark one end of the material to be operated on.  Move  the
cursor  to the other end.  Do NOT press the MARK key again!  The portion between
the last  MARK and the current cursor is the "REGION".  Verify the extent of the
region  by  pressing  the  EXCHANGE  MK&CRS  key.   This  swaps the mark and the
cursor.  Move the cursor or the mark to "fine tune" the region if you wish.

You may then either CUT or COPY the region to the "Kill Buffer".  The  COPY  key
does not delete the REGION.  The CUT key does.

The PASTE key restores, or "yanks," the text in the Kill Buffer.  This  text  is
placed  at  the current cursor position.  The text may be "pasted" any number of
times.   This  lets you insert multiple copies of a text into a file.  Note that
text  can  be  pasted anywhere, including into another file.  The PASTE key also
can retrieve information removed by the DELETE LINE or DELETE WORD keys.

You can also use the MARK key to "save your place" in a file,  do  some  editing
elsewhere, and then return to that spot with the EXCHG MK&CRS key.
