-
-
- The CLIPBOARD PANEL displays the contents of the three
- text blocks:
-
- the CUT/PASTE/REPLACE buffer
- the DELETE/TEXTOP buffer
- the ALL PURPOSE buffer
-
- and three icons:
-
- the DISK (file selector)
- the TRASH CAN
- the SHREDDER
-
- 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.
-
- Blocks 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 block onto the disk icon to save a block; drag
- the disk icon onto a block to load it. Drag a block
- 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 block or the trash can to open
- it into a window.
-
- ** The upper two text blocks are marked with a small
- black dot when the information they contain is
- `vital', which is to say that if that information is
- lost, it cannot be found elsewhere. When MOVE OLD
- BUFFERS TO TRASH CAN is selected in the EDITOR
- OPTIONS dialog, vital data is automatically saved
- to the trash can whenever it is overwritten.
-
- ** The trash can window is editable; the text block
- windows are read-only.
