BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE

  Cuts (removes) a box, padding the area with spaces to keep the column
  alignment of text to the right of the box.

  Typically you use BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE if you SET BOX NOPAD is in effect but
  want the area padded with spaces.

  Steps:

     1.  Select or find the text to cut. Typically, you use BOX SELECT.

     2.  Use the BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE command.

     3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use BOX PASTE OVERSTRIKE, which
         overwrites existing text.

  Example:

     The following example shows the effects of BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE---the
     area where you cut the box (indicated by uppercase B's) is padded with
     spaces to keep the column alignment of text to to the right.

        Before             After BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE
        -----------        ------------------------
        aaa BBB ccc        aaa     ccc
        aaa BBB ccc        aaa     ccc
        aaa BBB ccc        aaa     ccc

  Usage notes:

  o  With a standard, linear range, BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE uses the start and
     end of the range as diagonally opposite corners. Thus, you can use BOX
     CUT OVERSTRIKE with SELECT, FIND, or WILDCARD FIND---see help on Ranges
     And Boxes.

  o  Cutting a box converts tab characters to spaces, to the right of the
     box or overlapping the box (see help on CONVERT TABS) and adds spaces
     to the lines or line segments of the removed text to keep its
     rectangular shape.

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

  o  If you are editing an unmodifiable buffer, BOX CUT OVERSTRIKE is the
     same as BOX COPY. (See help on SET BUFFER.)

  | Box-editing operations are slow with very long box selections, |
  | particularly if buffer-change journaling is in effect (which   |
  | is the default).                                               |
