Selecting Objects and Entering Commands
Executing Commands on Several Objects
You can execute some commands on more than one object.
Other commands, such as Open, operate on a single
object.
To enter a command affecting several objects, you first
use the Mark key or the B3 mouse button to mark the
objects to be affected by the command. Then you issue
the command to affect these objects.
