SET BOX NOSELECT (default)
Disables box-style selection, cutting, and pasting, so that SELECT,
REMOVE, INSERT HERE, and other commands or keys use standard, linear
ranges.
Usage notes:
o To select a box, use BOX SELECT. To copy or cut a box, use BOX COPY or
BOX CUT.
o If you enable box selection, SELECT, REMOVE, STORE TEXT, and INSERT
HERE are the same as BOX SELECT, BOX CUT, BOX COPY and BOX PASTE---for
example, any key defined as SELECT then works like BOX SELECT without
having to be redefined.
o SET BOX NOSELECT applies in all buffers. To save your setting for
future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file
or to create or update a command file---see help on Attributes.
o On DECwindows, you can toggle the setting as follows:
1. Choose Global Attributes from the Customize menu.
2. Click M1 on Set Box Select in the dialog box.
