Common Software Commands, Continued
EDIT feature
The EDIT features offers commands like UNDO, CUT, COPY, and PASTE.
UNDO: The UNDO command deletes the last command given returning the
document to its previous configuration.
REDO: REDO replaces data deleted by the UNDO feature or delete
command.
CUT: CUT commands isolate a portion in the document and removes it. In
effect, it cuts the portion from the text and moves it into the electronic clip
board or scrapbook until you recall it later in the document or in another
document. You may also delete the information entirely. The clip board
empties when you exit the program or cut or copy new text.
COPY: The command COPY copies selected data. The information remains
in the original document with a copy of the data placed in the clip board or
scrapbook until the SYSOP requires it. Copied data may be repeated later in
the same document or moved to another document.
Again the clip board
empties when you exit the program or cut or copy new text.
PASTE: PASTE is the command given when the SYSOP wants to recall data
that has been cut or copied to the clip board in the document or into another
document altogether.
Again, these commands are common to a majority of software programs.
Your software program will have many other commands available.
