Pasting Text
When you cut text, it is actually
transferred to an area of memory
called the "paste buffer." With
the (PASTE] key (at the top), you
can "paste" this text anywhere
you want.
Paste the text into Jones Fur-
niture's order. Move to the "r"
in "redwood." Then paste the
text in place by pressing
