Moving and
Copying Text
The functions of moving and copying text are very much alike. You use
MOVE to move the text from one place to another, removing the text from
its original position. You use COPY to move text as well, but you still leave
a copy of it in the original position.
You learned how to move words, lines, and sentences one at a time in the
last section. In this section you use one of the features of the scratchpad to
move seven different lines and retrieve them all together in alphabetical
order. You learn what to do to empty the scratchpad if you make a mistake.
Moving Names Into
Alphabetical Order
Start your editing of the agenda by rearranging the names into alphabetical
order. You can use MOVE plus LINE to do the rearranging quickly and
easily. Follow these steps:
1. Put the cursor anywhere on the line that contains the name you want
first on the list. As shown in Figure 3-2, the name that goes first is
Goncherov.
2. Press LINE, then press MOVE. TEDIT moves the line from the screen
to the scratchpad.
3. Put the cursor on the line that contains the name you want next on the
list, Kitahara. Press MOVE again. Referring to Figure 3-2 for the
correct order, place the cursor on each line that is next in the order and
press MOVE until you have moved all the names except Yuen to the
scratchpad. Because Yuen is the last name in the alphabetical order,
you do not need to move that name.
