Subject: Pine: blocking text

From: [email-masked] (Sandra Wald)

I have the following question from an user. I have not gotten an answer on my own.

One more question: Would you tell me how to select the text to cut 
and paste in PINE?  CTRL+K cut only the line, and I would like to know 
how to select more than one line (or part of the line).

Thanks in advance,

Sandra

You can cut/paste more than one line at a time in the Composer.  Use
the "^^ Mark" command (that's the Ctrl-^ key) to set a "mark" at the
beginning or end of the composed text you wish to delete or move, then
move the cursor to the other end of the block of text to be "cut".
Now you can use the Ctrl-K key to cut the selected text.

Have a :-) day,
Luke

I sort of stumbled over it - pine told me once (or twice) when I was
repeatedly pressing CTRL+K :

CTRL+^

Use Crtl-^ to set the first mark. Then, use your right/left arrow keys 
for highlighting text in lines and the down arrow key for highlighting 
lines to cut. After hightlighting, use Ctrl-K to delete.

Try CTRL^ for marking the start and end of a block.

Move the cursor to the first character of the first line you want to cut.
Hold CTRL and SHIFT down, and press the 6 key.
You'll see a note [Mark Set] appear centred at the bottom of the page.
Use your down arrow key to highlight the lines you want to cut.  If you 
want to cut more than just a few lines, use CTRL-V to page forward.
When all the text you want to cut is highlighted, use CTRL-K to cut it.
If you wish to paste the text elsewhere in your document, move the cursor 
to the first character of the line where you wish to insert the text.  
Use CTRL-U to uncut the text.

Hint:  If you set the mark at the wrong place, doing CTRL-SHIFT-6 again 
will produce the message [Mark UnSet]
