disk using the current window title.
This command is disabled until you open an edit window.
.topic SaveAs

name.

When you are done using MS-DOS, type in "EXIT" and you will
return to where you were in your application.
.topic Exit
EXIT [Alt]-[X] {FILE Menu:File_Menu}

Before the application is terminated, all windows on the

The next time you use this application, the last
{desktop:GDesktop} you had open will be restored, along with
the video mode you were in.
.topic Edit_Menu=2200
EDIT Menu [Alt]-[C] {MENUS Help:Menus}
This menu allows you to cut, copy, and paste text to and from
the clipboard. You can also undelete your last text operation,
clear {selected text:GSelectedText} from your document without
putting it into the clipboard, or view current clipboard
contents.

.topic Undo
UNDO [Ctrl]-[U] {EDIT Menu:Edit_Menu}
[Ctrl]-[Q]-[L] {EDITOR Cmds:Editor_Commands}
Undo your last text operation. Whether you entered text that
you don't really want, or accidentally deleted some text you
would like to restore, UNDO will restore the text to its
original context.
However, you must select UNDO before you use any
{cursor key:Cursor}. The UNDO buffer is based on cursor
movement. As long as you are entering or deleting text you can
UNDO it. This also applies to marking blocks of text and
deleting them. The deletion can be undone, as long as you don't
move the cursor with a {cursor key:Cursor} (i.e., [PgUp],
[Right-Arrow], [Home], etc.). Once the cursor is moved, the
UNDO buffer flushes itself and the original text context is
forever gone.
This does not apply to using any of the text
{reformatting keys:Formatting}. Wordwrap can not be undone. Nor
can paragraph or document reformatting.
This command is disabled until you enter or delete text in an
edit window.
.topic Copy
COPY [Ctrl]-[Ins] {EDIT Menu:Edit_Menu}
[Ctrl]-[K]-[K] {MOVING Cmds:Moving}
{SELECT Cmds:Selecting}
Copy selected text to the {clipboard:Clipboard}. Using COPY
indicates that you want to take a "copy" of your
{selected text:GSelectedText}, leaving the text in your
document intact.
This command is disabled until you place text on the
{clipboard:Clipboard}.
.topic Cut
CUT [Shift]-[Del] {EDIT Menu:Edit_Menu}
[Ctrl]-[K]-[Y] {DELETE Cmds:Deleting}
{SELECT Cmds:Selecting}
Cut {selected text:GSelectedText} out of your document to the
{clipboard:Clipboard}. Using CUT indicates that you want to
"cut" your {selected text:GSelectedText}, removing the text
from your document.
This command is disabled until you place text on the
{clipboard:Clipboard}.
.topic Paste
PASTE [Shift]-[Ins] {EDIT Menu:Edit_Menu}
[Ctrl]-[K]-[C] {MOVING Cmds:Moving}
Paste text into your document from the {clipboard:Clipboard}.
In order to use this option, text must have been placed on the
{clipboard:Clipboard} previously using {COPY:Copy} or {CUT:Cut}
commands.
This command is disabled until you place text on the
{clipboard:Clipboard}.
.topic Clipboard
CLIPBOARD {EDIT Menu:Edit_Menu}
View the contents of the clipboard. The clipboard will be
blank unless you previously put something on it using the
{COPY:Copy} or {CUT:Cut} commands.
To exit the clipboard, press [Alt]-[F3] and you will return to
your current edit window.
.topic Clear
CLEAR [Ctrl]-[Del] {EDIT Menu:Edit_Menu}
{DELETE Cmds:Deleting}
{SELECT Cmds:Selecting}
Clear selected text from your document. This is much like the
{CUT:Cut} option, but the {selected text:GSelectedText} is not
put on the {clipboard:Clipboard}.
