xp (paste)  paste (write) buffered text into pad
usage:  xp [-r [-f pathname | name]]



DESCRIPTION
     The xp command inserts the contents of a paste buffer or system file into
     a pad at the current cursor position.  xp does not change the contents of
     the paste buffer or file, so you can make multiple insertions.  You can
     use this command only in a writable pad.

     By default, the PASTE key invokes the xp command, using the default
     (unnamed) paste buffer.

ARGUMENTS
     name (optional)
                    Specify the paste buffer name.  xp copies text from the
                    named buffer.  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 provide paste text.  This
                    option is not valid if name argument is present.

     -r             Specify paste of a rectangular portion of text.
