SET CLIPBOARD
Enables the DECwindows clipboard for copying, cutting, and pasting, so you
can transfer text between EVE and other DECwindows applications.
Example:
The following commands enable the DECwindows clipboard (rather than to
the INSERT HERE buffer), select the entire buffer, and then copy the
selection to the clipboard,
Command: SET CLIPBOARD
Command: SELECT ALL
Command: COPY
Usage notes:
o You can use the clipboard only with the DECwindows interface, not on
DECterm or character-cell terminals. Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which
uses the INSERT HERE buffer.
o WPS keys do NOT use the clipboard, regardless of the setting.
o SET CLIPBOARD 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. However, for
routine editing within EVE, using the INSERT HERE buffer may be faster,
depending on the amount of text involved.
o On DECwindows, you can toggle the setting as follows:
1. Choose Global Attributes from the Customize menu.
2. Click M1 on Set Clipboard in the dialog box.
