Edit

The Edit menu allows you to copy text between the Take Command windows and the Windows clipboard. You can also access the clipboard in TCC with redirection to or from the CLIP: device, or with the @CLIP variable function.

To use the Cut, Copy, or Delete commands, you must first select a block of text with the mouse, the keyboard, or with the Select All command, below. If you hold down the right mouse button while you select a block of text, that block will be copied to the clipboard automatically when you release the button.

For more information on copying text see Highlighting and Copying Text.
