k Using the Clipboard for Copy and Paste
You can copy (or cut) a function, command, or other input to the ClassPad's clipboard, and then paste the
clipboard contents at another location. Performing a copy or cut operation causes the current clipboard
contents to be replaced by the newly copied or cut characters.
u To copy characters
1. Drag the stylus across the characters you want to copy to select them.
2. On the soft keyboard, tap p. Or tap the [Edit] menu and then tap [Copy].
• This puts a copy of the selected characters onto the clipboard.
u To cut characters
1. Drag the stylus across the characters you want to cut to select them.
2. Tap the [Edit] menu and then tap [Cut].
• This causes the selected characters to be deleted, and moves them onto the clipboard.
u To paste the clipboard contents
1. Move the cursor to the location where you want to paste the clipboard contents.
2. On the soft keyboard, tap q. Or tap the [Edit] menu and then tap [Paste].

You can use the two buttons to the right of the message box to copy the
