Clipboard directly to nonĆWindows text editors such as the Norton
Editor. Each variable name will be pasted as XX01 COMMON
<variable name> \! <description>". This format allows variable
names and descriptions to be pasted into tasks and used for

network description is empty, the local description will be used.

database will be updated following confirmation.
