-
- Only by striking ^k n times to delete n lines. However, the next undelete
- (^u) will bring back the entire block of n lines. This can be used for a
- rudimentary cut/paste/copy operation. Pico is not really designed for
- heavy-duty editing or for large files, but it excellent for simple editing
- tasks, such as mail composition.

-
- The only documentation I know of is the man page, which you will get if
- you built the entire pine package, rather than just ftp'ing the binaries
- for pico.
