xc (copy)  copy text to paste buffer
usage:  [range xc [-r] [-f pathname | name]]



DESCRIPTION
     The xc command copies a range of text from any pad into a paste buffer or
     system file.  The copied text remains undisturbed.

     By default, the COPY key invokes the xc command, using the default
     (unnamed) paste buffer.

ARGUMENTS
     range (required)
                    Specify the range of text to be copied.

                    Default if omitted:  copy from cursor to end of line

     name (optional)
                    Specify the paste buffer name.  Text is written to the
                    named buffer.  If text is copied to a buffer that was
                    previously used, the new text overwrites the old.  You can
                    have up to 100 buffers open per log-in session.

                    Default if omitted:  use
                    'node_data/paste_buffers/default.txt

OPTIONS
     -f pathname    Specify the system file to receive copied text.  If the
                    file already exists, the copied text overwrites the
                    current file contents.  This option is not valid if the
                    name argument is present.

     -r             Specify copy for a rectangular portion of text.
