-
-
- The CLIPBOARD PANEL displays the contents of the three
- text buffers:
-
- the CUT/PASTE/REPLACE buffer
- the DELETE/TEXTOP buffer
- the ALL PURPOSE buffer
-
- and three icons:
-
- the DISK (represents the file selector)
- the TRASH CAN
- the SHREDDER (the 'radio active' icon)
-
- The CUT/PASTE/REPLACE buffer is used by the Cut, Copy,
- Paste, Overlay and search/replace operations. The
- DELETE/TEXTOP buffer is used by Delete, Delete Line and
- all operations in the TEXT menu. The ALL PURPOSE
- buffer is there for the user.
-
- Buffers can be DRAGGED and DROPPED onto eachother, onto
- the disk, trash can and shredder icons, onto other
- Edith windows, and when using MultiTOS, also onto
- windows belonging to other applications such as
- MINIWIN.
-
- Drag a buffer onto the disk icon to save a buffer; drag
- the disk icon onto a buffer to load a file into it.
- Drag a buffer onto the trash can to move it to the
- trash can. Drag anything onto the shredder to
- permanently discard it.
-
- DOUBLE CLICK on a text buffer or the trash can to open
- it into a window.
-
- ** The upper two text buffers are marked with an
- exclamation mark when the information they contain
- is 'vital', which is to say that if this information
- is lost, it cannot be found elsewhere. When MOVE OLD
- BUFFERS TO TRASH FILE is selected in the EDITOR
- OPTIONS dialog, vital data is automatically saved to
- the trash can whenever it is overwritten.
-
- ** The trash can and text buffer windows are read-only.
