The COPY (abbreviated CO) command copies text from one location to another within a buffer or between buffers. When text is copied, the source text remains intact. Format: COPY [range-1] TO [range-2] [/QUERY] [/DUPLICATE:n] The lines specified by range-1 are copied above the first line specified by range-2. Either range defaults to the current line. Either range may include a buffer specification. If the destination is not the current buffer, put the name of the receiving buffer immediately after TO (=buffer). Give the full name of the buffer. To copy text from an external file, see INCLUDE.
1 /DUPLICATE
Format: /DUPLICATE:n When you use the /DUPLICATE (abbreviated /DUP) qualifier, the lines specified by range-1 are duplicated n times.
2 /QUERY
Format: /QUERY When you use the /QUERY (abbreviated /Q) qualifier, EDT prompts you with a question mark (?) to verify each line to be copied. Responses are: Y Yes, copy this line N No, do not copy this line Q Quit, do not copy any of the remaining lines in the range A All, copy all the rest of the lines
