long as both files are in the same
RAM bank. For example, assume
you want to move some text
from ORDERS.DO to
SEMINR.DO:
1. Select a block of text from
ORDERS.DO and cut (CBD) or
copy (fFD) it into the paste
buffer.
2. Enter SEMINR.DO and, at
the position where you want the
text inserted, press (PASTE).
Clearing the Paste Buffer
Just like text files, the contents
of the paste buffer consume
memory. After cutting and
pasting or copying and pasting a
large block of text, less memory
is available.
You can "clear" the paste buffer
by replacing its contents with
nothing. To do this, press (F 7),
the Select key, and then copy
nothing into the paste buffer by
pressing 1F5], the Copy key. The
paste buffer now contains
nothing, which, of course, con-
sumes no memory.
You may find the amount of
memory consumed by the paste
buffer to be somewhat confus-
ing. If so, refer to Reference C.

Information
from a File
TEXT includes an additional
function, called LIST, that lets
you select information from a
text file. This function works in
a similar way as the SCHEDL
and ADDRSS programs and is
described in the next chapter.
