Cut Key

The Edit > Cut command () removes the currently selected line(s) from the file and puts it (them) on the clipboard. Line(s) below the cut line(s) are moved up. This command is unavailable if there is no data currently selected.

The Cut command differs from the Delete command in that the lines that are cut are placed in the clipboard and can then be pasted. Lines that are deleted, however, are not available for pasting.

Cutting data to the clipboard replaces the contents previously stored there. The line(s) can then be pasted to another file (or back into the current file) or left as cut. If you change your mind after performing this function, use Edit > Undo (see “Edit” in the Data File Maintenance Functions).
