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.
