  REMOVE

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

  Key:   EVE default      VT100 keypad      EDT keypad
         ---------------------------------------------
         REMOVE           KP8               KP6

  Steps:

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

     2.  Use the REMOVE command (see key list above).

     3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use INSERT HERE 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, REMOVE (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, REMOVE 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 REMOVE or CUT to delete that buffer.

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

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

  o  The WPS keypad redefines REMOVE on the mini keypad as WPS Cut, which
     can use alternate paste buffers but does not use the clipboard.

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