To copy-and-paste from the entry buffer to the
command line entry area
1
Place text to be pasted into the command line in the entry buffer text
area.
You may do that by:
•
Copying the text from the display area using the copy-and-paste feature.
•
Enter the text directly by typing it into the entry buffer text area.
•
Choose the text from the entry buffer recall dialog box.
2
Position the mouse pointer within the command line text entry area.
3
If necessary, reposition the cursor to the location where you want to
paste the text.
4
If necessary, choose the insert or replace mode for the command
entry area.
5
Click the command paste mouse button to paste the text in the
command line entry area at the current cursor position.
The entire contents of the entry buffer are pasted into the command line at
the current cursor position.
Although a paste from the display area to the entry buffer affects all
displayed entry buffers in all open windows, a paste from the entry buffer to
the command line only affects the command line of the window in which you
are currently working.
See "To copy-and-paste to the entry buffer" for information about pasting
information from the display into the entry buffer.
To use the action keys
1
If the action key uses the contents of the entry buffer, place the
desired information in the entry buffer.
2
Position the mouse pointer over the action key and click the action
key.
Action keys are user-definable pushbuttons that perform interface or system
functions. Action keys can use information from the entry buffer — this
makes it possible to create action keys that are more general and flexible.
