[comp.sys.apollo] to cut & paste a column

allard@bnl.ARPA (Rick Allard) (11/20/87)

Has anybody found the need and the solution
to cutting a column out of a multicolumn
area of characters, a table?  Any Display
Manager jockeys that can help, I'd like to
hear.


Thanx, Rick

Will the DM command "xd -r" do what you want?  Xc and XP also take -r for
dealing with rectangular areas.
