  WPS Paste

  Pastes a range or box you cut or copied---optionally using a WPS-style
  alternate paste buffer.

  Steps:

     1.  Put the cursor where you want to paste the text.

     2.  Optionally, press GOLD and a number from 1 through 9 to specify an
         alternate paste buffer if you used one for the copy or cut.

     3.  Press the WPS Paste key (COMMA, GOLD-COMMA, or INSERT HERE).

  Usage notes:

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

  o  By default, WPS Paste inserts what you cut or copied, pushing existing
     text to the right and down.  SET BOX SELECT makes WPS Paste work like
     BOX PASTE, usually overwriting existing text---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  WPS Paste does not automatically rewrap text.  Depending on where and
     how much you paste, your text may go past the right margin or even out
     of view.  To reformat your text, use FILL (with the WPS keypad, press
     GOLD-KP5).

  o  You cannot repeat WPS Paste by using a GOLD-number sequence (such as
     GOLD-5) because WPS Paste uses the sequence to specify the alternate
     paste buffer.  Instead, to repeat WPS Paste, use the REPEAT command.
