- I don't understand... WordPerfect does columns nicely. Even though the
- highlighted area covers full lines as you move, you can still delete
- copy or move just the rectangle delimited by the cursor positions when you
- start the block operation and when you give the command. That's the
- difference between "block" and "rectangle" operations.
