    All 6 types of copies are heavily used depending upon the situation.
    However, AltC with AltL blocking is probably the most common.

    Unlike the rest of the marked area functions of PC-TYPE+, the copy
    command does not remove the blocking after completion of the request.
    This allows you to copy again and again until you unmark the marked
    area with the AltU command.

    We will give an example of each type of copy below.  Be sure to follow
    the instructions for the examples closely, especially when you are
    asked to unmark the previous marked area.




                              Press the PgDn Key

                   Standard Paragraph Copy (AltL AltL AltC)

    Move the cursor to THIS line and press AltL.
    Then move the cursor to THIS line and press AltL again.
    Now move the cursor HERE and press AltC.  Press AltL again.

    Notice that you can change the marking.

    Press AltU to unblock and move the cursor to THIS line and press AltL.

    Now Press AltC.  Copying paragraphs and lines is that simple.

    Press AltU to remove the marking.


                              Press the PgDn Key




                  Standard Sentence Copy (CtrlL CtrlL AltC)

    Move the cursor to the 'T' at the beginning of the next sentence and
    press CtrlL.  This is the sentence you will be copying to a new
    location.  Now move the cursor to the '.' at the end of the previous
    sentence and press CtrlL again.  Finally, move the cursor to the
    asterisk below, and press AltC.

                                     (*)
                                    .....

    You have just moved a sentence.  Press AltU to unmark.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                        Column Copy (CtrlB CtrlB AltC)

    Move the cursor to the 'M'    *
    at the beginning of this      
    sentence and press  CtrlB.    │
                                 │
                              │   │
    Move the cursor just past the │  period and press CtrlB again.
    Now move the cursor to the asterisk and press AltC.  Press AltC again.
    As you can see the column copied is inserted in the line(s) with the
    upper left-hand corner of the box at the cursor.  Press AltU.

      Move the cursor to the left of the bottom  '' and press CtrlB.
       Move the cursor up to just left of the top '' and press CtrlB
      again.  Move the cursor on the top '' and press AltC three or four
    times.  This is another handy use for this form of copy.  Press
    AltU to unmark.

                              Press the PgDn Key


                   Paragraph Insert (AltL AltL CtrlC)

    Move the cursor to THIS line and press AltL.
    Then move the cursor to THIS line and press AltL again.

    Now move the cursor to the 'x' (x) and press CtrlC.






    You have now copied the marked paragraph to the middle of a line which
    has been split at the cursor.  A simple reformat will close the gaps.

    again.

                Column (or Block) Overlay (CtrlB CtrlB CtrlC)

    Move the cursor to the upper left corner of the box below and press
    CtrlB.  Now move the cursor to the lower right corner of the box below
