1 APLTPU Applicon Extended EDT Emulator The Applicon Extended EDT Emulator provides additional functions to the DEC EDT Emulator for VAXTPU. 2 BOX_CUT_PASTE +----------+ +----------+ | | | | | GOLD | + | B | | | | | +----------+ +----------+ The GOLD_B key will toggle the definition of the CUT (Remove), PASTE (Insert here), and SELECT keys between the normal EDT mode and box mode. In box mode, the select key will create a marker for one corner of an imaginary box on the screen. The opposite corner is def- ined by the position of the cursor. The box defined by the mar- ker and the cursor is used by the CUT key. In box mode, all of the text which is inside the box will be CUT out, and replaced by spaces. For a PASTE, the box in the paste buffer will overlay any text when in it pasted in. The cursor is used to mark the upper left corner of a PASTE box. EXAMPLE: ................ ....M...........
