Library /sys$common/syshlp/EVE$KEYHELP.HLB  —  Append
  EDT Append

  Cuts a range or box and adds it to the text you last copied or cut, so you
  can paste all of this text elsewhere.

  Steps:

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

     2.  Press the EDT Append key (KP9).

     3.  To append more text, repeat steps 1 and 2.
         To paste the text, use INSERT HERE, PASTE, or BOX PASTE.

  Usage notes:

  o  Depending on your setting, the text is appended to the INSERT HERE
     buffer or the DECwindows clipboard.  Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD.

  o  With a standard, linear range, Append works like REMOVE or CUT, making
     text after the range move left or up.  The removed text is appended to
     the end of any text in the INSERT HERE buffer or the clipboard.

  o  If you use BOX SELECT, or if SET BOX SELECT is in effect, then Append
     works like BOX CUT, usually padding the area with spaces to keep the
     column alignment of text to the right of the box---see help on Ranges
     And Boxes.  The removed box of text is appended below any text in the
     INSERT HERE buffer or the clipboard.

  o  To view the contents of the INSERT HERE buffer---for example, to check
     what you copied or cut and what you appended---use the command BUFFER
     INSERT HERE.

  o  If you are editing an unmodifiable buffer, Append copies and appends
     the range or box without removing it.  (See help on SET BUFFER.)
