The Edit Menu

The Edit menu contains commands that alter the selection in the current key window (or in the main window if the key window doesn't respond to the command).  A command is dimmed when it can't operate on the current selection. 

Command 	Action

Copy 	Copies the current selection to the pasteboard without deleting it.   Both the Text and the Plot may be copied to the pasteboard.

Paste	Pastes the pasteboard selection into a document that can accept it.  For example the text data may be cut, copied, and pasted within the application, or the text can be cut, copied, and pasted into Edit or WriteNow.  The Plot, however, can only be pasted into something that accepts graphics information such as WriteNow.

Cut	Cuts the text selection from the text window.  The cut selection remains in the text pasteboard for a later paste operation.
