These commands control the clipping system. A clip is a snippet of
text separate from any document, which you can save to a file or insert
into a document. You can select text in a document and copy it to a
clip, optionally deleting it from your text. You can also load text
directly from a file into a clip. ne
can have any number of
clips, which are distinguished by an integer. Most clip commands act on
the current clip, which can be selected with ClipNumber
. Clips can
be copied and pasted in two ways—normally (as lines of text) or
vertically (as a rectangular block of characters).
Note that by using the Through
command you can automatically pass a
(possibly vertical) block of text through any filter (such as sort
under
UN*X).
