Using the Copy Selection Screen

Use the Copy Selection screen to copy source lines from another module or to copy an entire module. You can also use the Copy Selection screen to copy a module from one dictionary to another by specifying a different dictionary name and node name.

To use the copy function:

1. At the Edit screen, type an A (After) or a B (Before) in the line number to the left of the line you want to indicate that the lines (or module) copied should be placed before or after that line.
2. Type COPY in the COMMAND line.
3. Press the Enter key to display the Copy Selection screen.
