- All 6 types of copies are heavily used depending upon the situation.
- However, AltC with AltL blocking is probably the most common.
-
- Unlike the rest of the marked area functions of PC-TYPE+, the copy
- command does not remove the blocking after completion of the request.
- This allows you to copy again and again until you unmark the marked
- area with the AltU command.
-
- We will give an example of each type of copy below. Be sure to follow
- the instructions for the examples closely, especially when you are
- asked to unmark the previous marked area.
