EVE$HELP.HLB  —  SET_CLIPBOARD
  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.
