EVE$HELP.HLB  —  STORE_TEXT
  STORE TEXT

  Same as the COPY command---copies a range or box without removing it, so
  you can insert it elsewhere.

  Key:   GOLD-REMOVE       EVE default
         SHIFT/REMOVE      Motif function key

  Steps:

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

     2.  Use the STORE TEXT command, press GOLD-REMOVE, or press
         SHIFT/REMOVE in the Motif environment. A message tells you the
         copying is completed.

     3.  To paste the text elsewhere, use INSERT HERE or BOX PASTE.

  Usage notes:

  o  If you use BOX SELECT, or if SET BOX SELECT is in effect, STORE TEXT
     (or any key defined for it) is the same as BOX COPY---see help on
     Ranges And Boxes.

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

  o  GOLD-REMOVE is a "sleeper" key---it is defined by default, but the
     definition must be activated by setting a GOLD key or by setting the
     EDT or WPS keypad. See help on Gold Keys.

  o  On DECwindows, you can use the mouse to copy text from EVE to another
     DECwindows application by using M2CLICK or M2DRAG---see help on
     Quick Copy.

  o  Motif function keys are on by default on Motif DECwindows.
