  WPS Copy

  Copies a range or box without removing it, so you can paste it elsewhere
  ---optionally using a WPS-style alternate paste buffer.

  Steps:

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

     2.  Optionally, press GOLD and type a number from 1 through 9 to
         specify an alternate paste buffer.

     3.  Press the WPS Copy key (GOLD-MINUS on the keypad).

     4.  To paste the copied text, press GOLD and type the number of the
         alternate paste buffer (if you used one in copying the text), and
         then press the WPS Paste key (COMMA, GOLD-COMMA, or INSERT HERE).

  Usage notes:

  o  If you do not specify an alternate paste buffer, WPS Copy uses the
     INSERT HERE buffer.  WPS keys do not use the DECwindows clipboard.

  o  If you use BOX SELECT, or if SET BOX SELECT is in effect, then WPS Copy
     is like BOX COPY---see help on Ranges And Boxes.

  o  To check the contents your paste buffers, use SHOW SYSTEM BUFFERS and
     select a buffer from the list---for example, the INSERT HERE buffer,
     PASTE_BUFFER_1, and so on.

  o  On DECwindows, you can also copy text from EVE to another DECwindows
     application by using M2---see help on Quick Copy.
