  Clipboard

  Like many other windows-based applications, DECsound
  includes a clipboard, which is a temporary (invisible) storage
  area.  When you cut or copy part of a DECsound recording,
  DECsound stores the selected part of the recording in the
  clipboard.  When you choose    Paste  from the Edit menu,
  DECsound pastes the contents of the clipboard into the
  recording.

  The clipboard stores only the most recently cut or copied part
  of a recording.  When you cut or copy part of a recording to
  the clipboard, the recording overwrites the current contents
  of the clipboard.

  Each DECsound session uses a separate clipboard; therefore,
  you cannot use the Edit menu to cut and paste between two
  DECsound sessions.  If you need to cut and paste between two

  DECsound sessions, you can do so using the mouse, as follows:

  1.  Choose Display Energy or Display Samples from the
      View menu in both DECsound sessions to display the
      waveforms.

  2.  Drag MB1 across the waveform to select the part of
      the recording you want to cut from the first DECsound
      session.

  3.  Position the pointer at the spot in the second waveform
      where you want to insert the part of the recording.

  4.  Click MB2 to paste this recording to the second
      DECsound session.
