If you copy or delete a step, the step you select here will be the step that is copied or deleted. If you insert
or paste a step, the step will be inserted or pasted at the location of the step you select here.

Each key has the following function.
• [F3] key (COPY)..................Copies the selected step to the clipboard (a memory area in which data is
temporarily kept).
• [F4] key (DELETE)............. Deletes the selected step. Subsequent steps will move forward.
• [F5] key (INSERT) .............. Inserts the contents of the selected step at the selected step. The selected
step and subsequent steps will move backward.
• [F6] key (PASTE) ................Inserts the contents of the clipboard at the selected step. The selected step
and subsequent steps will move backward. If the clipboard is empty, press-
ing this key will do nothing.
Hint: You can hold down the [SHIFT] key and use the CURSOR [ π ]/[ † ] keys to select multiple adjacent steps.
