Move, Delete, and Memorize

These three menu functions can be used for single objects or groups of
objects.

When you memorize an object or a group of objects, you have the option
of memorizing the associated addresses as well. After choosing the
object(s) to memorize, you will be prompted:

Do you want to memorize the addresses as well?

If you choose Yes, the object addresses will be memorized; if you choose
No, only the screen appearance of the objects will be memorized.

The Memorize and Recall function can be used to copy the contents of an
entire screen to a new screen, or to another file. See the section Copying a
Screen From One Application to Another, in Chapter 8, Screen Operations.

The Move function is used in the following example to show how these
three menu options are used with object groups.
