                ------- COPYPIC (EXPERT Function Key) -------


This is a function key that exists within the EXPERT functions 
(see EXRERT function key).

--  The COPYPIC function key allows you to copy in whole (or parts of) drawings
    shrink or enlarge them, and place them in the current drawing
    wherever you want. 
 
--  After you press the COPYPIC function key, you will be prompted for the 
    name of the drawing you wish to copy.
 
--  After you provide the name of the drawing, the program will
    read in the file with the drawing in it.  
 
--  Once the drawing has been read in, you must decide if you want all or part
    of the copied drawing.  (If part, skip to the NOTE at end of this HELP.)
 
    --  You will be told what colors the drawing was done in as well
        as well as what colors (bright on dark vs dark on bright) the 
        copy was done in. 
 
    --  You will be given the opportunity to reverse the colors of the
        copy before it is copied in if you desire.
 
        --  You will probably want to reverse the colors of the copy
            if the copy and the drawing were done in opposite colors.
            Even then, however, you might not want to if you planned on copying
            onto a painted area or erasing the background before copying.
            Erasing the background is another option you're given.

    --  You may choose to erase the background before you copy.
        This only erases the area being copied into, not the whole screen.

    --  You may choose to remove all the PAINTs from the copy.
        --  This may be a good idea if you are going to shrink
            the copy very much.
        --  The problem is that with the reduction of resolution that 
            is inherent with shrinkage, you could have runaway paints
            if you don't remove them.
            NOTE  Runaway paints are trapped anyway, but it may
                  save you time to not have to bother with them
                  from the start.

--  After you've answered these questions, you will be shown your
    drawing with a flashing box (just four corners) on the screen.
    The copy still isn't in the drawing.

    --  The four corners of that box represent not only where the
        drawing will be copied in, but also the size of the copy.

    --  To move the box, just use the cursor keys.

    --  You will also be shown 8 new function keys.  (See next screen of help.)
 
 
        --  CSPEED1...make box-cursor movement only 1 dot at a time
        --  CSPEED8...make box-cursor movement 8 dots at a time
        --  SHRNK10...shrink the copy 10%  (indicated by the size of the box)
        --  SHRNK1....shrink the copy 1%   (indicated by the size of the box
        --  ENLRG10...enlarge the copy 10% (indicated by the size of the box)
        --  ENLRG1....enlarge the copy 1%  (indicated by the size of the box
        --  ABORT.....forget about this copy
        --  COMMIT....go ahead and actually copy it in 

*** NOTE ***
    THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE WAS WRITTEN FOR COPYING IN A WHOLE DRAWING.
    COPYING IN JUST PART OF A DRAWING IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT.
    ESSENTIALLY THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING STEPS IN COPYING JUST A PART:
      -1-  PRESS COPYPIC
      -2-  NAME THE FILE YOU'RE TRYING TO COPY A PART OF
      -3-  INDICATE VIA FUNCTION KEY THAT YOU'RE COPYING PART OF THE DRAWING
      -4-  DEFINE WHAT PART YOU WANT TO COPY IN (YOU'LL BE SHOWN THE COPY)
      -5-  DEFINE WHERE AND WHAT SIZE YOU WANT THE COPYED AREA
FINE WHAT PART YOU WANT TO COPY IN (YOU'LL BE SHOWN THE COPY)
      -5-  DEFINE WHERE AND WHAT SIZE YOU WANT THE COPYED ARE
