Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Function  ◄Paste►
 
     Choose Paste to insert the contents of the clipboard at the
     cursor. The text is inserted in both insert mode and overtype
     mode.
 
     Inserted text retains the selection type it had when copied to the
     clipboard. That is, if the text was placed on the clipboard as a
     stream or box, PWB inserts the stream or box of text at the cursor,
     regardless of the current selection mode. If the text was placed on
     the clipboard as a line selection, the lines are inserted above the
     line at the cursor.
     See: ◄Selection Modes (Defined)►
 
     TIP: To view the contents of the clipboard, choose Clipboard from
          the PWB Windows cascaded menu on the Window menu.
