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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Edit menu, Cut command («delete»)
 
     Function  ◄Delete►
 
     Choose Cut to delete the selected text from the active window and
     copy it to the clipboard. If no text is selected, PWB deletes the
     character at the cursor and does not modify the clipboard.
 
     To insert the deleted text, use the Paste command or the Paste
     function («paste»).
     See: Paste, ◄Edit menu, Paste►
 
     To delete text without copying it to the clipboard, use the Delete
     command or the meta forms of the delete functions.
     See: Delete, Ldelete, Sdelete, ◄Edit menu, Delete►
 
     TIP: To view the contents of the clipboard, choose Clipboard from
          the PWB Windows cascaded menu on the Window menu.
