Hi George,
Answer:
I intended to cut a CC...CC line range from the EDIT session into a clipboard called IT, but command "CUT IT" just creates an empty IT.CLIP file and issues message "Colour change not supported during Cut".
The HELP CUT documentation doesn't alert me to any special meaning for the char sequence IT in the command syntax.
I don't think the unquoted string IT was mistaken as a <search-string>, especially as the HELP doc specifically states:
Special Note: the search string, even if a simple string like ABC MUST be enclosed in quotes. e.g. "ABC" This is to prevent it being treated as the CB-Name operand.
If I do place quotes around the string, e.g. CUT 'IT', the CUT works as expected, namely, copying all lines containing the string IT into the windows clipboard.
So I wonder if 'IT' is a reserved word for something else in the command parser.
The error message text is also odd. Other than auto-colorisation when loading the file, the data has no color attributes for CUT to worry about.
CUT with a different <cb-Name> operand proceeds fine.
