Set Box Select Determines the type of selections for cutting, pasting, and other edits. "Box selections" let you edit a rectangular area, rather than a linear range. For example, you can select, cut, and paste columns of text, such as in editing a table. Usage notes: o By default, box selection is disabled, so you can select and edit standard, linear ranges. To edit boxes, use BOX commands. o Enabling box selection makes commands (or defined keys or menu items) for editing linear ranges work like like BOX commands. For example, SELECT, REMOVE, and INSERT HERE are then the same as BOX SELECT, BOX CUT, and BOX PASTE respectively. See help on Ranges And Boxes. o Typically you enable box selection to make it easier to edit tables or column-aligned text without having to redefine keys for selecting, cutting, and pasting. In effect, the setting redefines the keys for you. o Enabling box selection also affects editing a found range. For example, COPY, FILL, REMOVE, or UPPERCASE uses the start and end of the found range as the diagonally opposite corners of a box. o 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. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | For a list of EVE commands and other topics, press HELP and type ?. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Related topics: Attributes Pending Delete Ranges And Boxes SET BOX NOSELECT SET BOX PAD SET BOX SELECT
