applications that use them.
The Scrap
The scrap is a special temporary storage area in memory. Store data in the
scrap to move it or duplicate it elsewhere in the current application or in
another application. When you quit an application, any data in the scrap
remains intact.
The
[£[J
key controls the scrap mode in most applications. Press
[£[J
until
the indicator for the scrap mode you want appears. There are three scrap
modes: Replace, Append, and No Scrap.
