7Ć11 Configuring Variables
Note that when nonĆconsecutive items are copied into the Windows
Clipboard, they become a consecutive list. For example, if three items
are selected from a list of registers (registers 1, 4, and 5 on the list)
are copied into the Clipboard and then are pasted to a new
destination, they will appear in consecutive order, beginning at the
starting point selected for the paste operation. If you use register 1 as
the starting point at the destination, the paste will result in names and
descriptions being assigned to registers 1, 2 , and 3. However, if you
select and copy a contiguous block of names and descriptions into
the Clipboard (including any unassigned registers within the block),
they will retain their relative positions when pasted to a new
destination.
