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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Use the Edit menu to manipulate text in the Help, Source,
or Notepad window. The editor is based on the "clipboard"
metaphor. Text is copied from a window to a temporary
storage area called a Clipboard. From there, text can be
pasted into another location.
