Copy (Copy and Paste) and Move (Cut and Paste)
This section describes the procedure for copying (copy and paste) or moving (cut and paste) a
part of a program using the soft-keys.
Copying and moving a program include the following four kinds of operation.
1.
Copying a part of a program and pasting it in the same program
2.
Copying a part of a program and pasting it in other program
3.
Cutting a part of a program and pasting it in the same program
4.
Cutting a part of a program and pasting it in other program
1.
If a part of a program is copied or cut, the copied or cut data is stored in the copy
buffer in memory. Once the data is stored in this area, it is retained until another
copy or cut operation is carried out or the power is switched off.
2.
Before cutting a part of a program, ensure that it may be cut. Once a part of a
program is cut and if it is cleared from the copy buffer, it cannot be recovered.
3.
Copy and move operation is possible in units of word.
4.
The copy buffer area capacity is 4 k bytes to allow handling of up to 4000 characters.
