  CUT

  Same as the REMOVE command---cuts a range or box which you can paste
  elsewhere. In the BUFFER LIST, deletes the buffer whose name the cursor is
  on.

  Steps:

     1.  Select or find the text to cut (see help on SELECT or FIND).

     2.  Use the CUT command.

     3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use PASTE or BOX PASTE.

  Usage notes:

  o  Cutting a standard, linear range makes text after the cut move left or
     up, similar to erasing text. The remaining text does not automatically
     rewrap. To reformat your text, use FILL commands.

  o  If you use BOX SELECT, or if SET BOX SELECT is in effect, CUT (or any
     key defined for it) is the same as BOX CUT---see help on Ranges And
     Boxes.

  o  Depending on your setting, the removed text is stored in the INSERT
     HERE buffer or the DECwindows clipboard, replacing what you previously
     cut or copied to that storage area. Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD.

  o  In the Buffer List, CUT deletes a buffer without your having to type
     the buffer name, as follows:

        1.  Use the SHOW BUFFERS command to list the buffers you created.
        2.  Put the cursor on the name of the buffer you want to delete.
        3.  Use CUT or REMOVE to delete that buffer.

     For more information, see help on the DELETE BUFFER command.

  o  If you are editing an unmodifiable buffer, CUT is the same as STORE
     TEXT, copying the range or box instead of removing it. (See help on SET
     BUFFER.)

  o  On DECwindows, you can use the mouse to move text from EVE to another
     DECwindows application. You use ALT/M2CLICK or ALT/SHIFT/M2DRAG---see
     help on Quick Copy.
