280 Macintosh
User's
Handbook
To
select a portion
of
the MacTerminal document, use the
same method used with the Mac Write document. Place the edit
bar
at
the beginning
of
the text you wish to select and drag
to
the end
of
the section. The text will become highlighted. You
may now select Copy from the Edit menu. Now
that
the text
is
on the Clipboard, you may paste it onto the Apple menu file
or
an
application's file. Closing the MacTerminal document will
not terminate the communications link. When you return
to
the document, everything will be as before, if you have saved
the document.
The Copy Table item
is
used when transferring a table
from the MacTerminal document to another application's
document. The Mac will substitute a
tab
character for the
spaces between columns when copying the table to the
Clipboard.
You
may also use the Paste command to place the text
upon the document. Copy a portion
of
text from another file
to
the Clipboard. Now return to the MacTerminal document and
select Paste from the Edit menu. The Paste command will
result in the text being placed upon the document and sent
to
the remote computer.
If
you wish to transfer the entire document to the Clip-
board, choose the
Select All item. Then select Copy to place the
text upon the Clipboard. Choosing the
Show Clipboard item
will cause the Clipboard to appear displaying the text copied
there. Select Hide Clipboard to return to the MacTerminal
document. The Select All item
is
also used when printing the
entire MacTerminal document using the Print Selection item
under the File menu. This will appear in detail later
in
the
chapter.
As always, the
Undo command can be used in many cases
to negate the action last taken with the document.
