XP (PASTE) -- Paste (write) buffered text into pad.
usage: xp [-r] [-f pathname | name]
FORMAT
XP [-R] [-F pathname | name]
The XP command inserts the contents of a paste buffer or system file into a
pad at the current cursor position. The contents of the paste buffer or file
are unchanged by this command, making multiple insertions possible. This
command can be used only in a writable pad.
By default, the <PASTE> key on low-profile keyboards and CTRL/O on 880
keyboards invoke the XP command using the default (unnamed) paste buffer.
ARGUMENTS
name
(optional) Specify paste buffer name. Text is copied from the named
buffer. You may have up to 100 buffers open per log in
session.
Default if omitted: use unnamed buffer
OPTIONS
-F pathname Specify system file to provide paste text. Not valid if
'name' argument is present.
-R Specify paste of a rectangular portion of text.
